I want to extract an archive named filename.tar.gz.
filename.tar.gz
Using tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz doesn\'t extract the file. it is gives this error:
tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz
The other scenario you mush verify is that the file you're trying to unpack is not empty and is valid.
In my case I wasn't downloading the file correctly, after double check and I made sure I had the right file I could unpack it without any issues.
