Have Sophos for Linux and having problems getting it installed

Ive located the tmp dir and have changed to it. I type tar -xzvf save-linux-free-9.tgz and I get the following error message

tar (child): save-linux-free-.9.tgz: Cannot open: No Such file or directory

tar (child): Error is not recoverable : exiting now

tar; Child returned status 2

tar; error is not recoverable: exiting now.

my tmp file is cd /tmp mozilla_eric_0 and I get there fine, I dont know what Im doing wrong as everything seems to line up per the online PDF.

Do I need to run this before I run the other script?

Check the name of the file you downloaded. Normally it would be called sav-linux-free-9.tgz

I do have that file in my download directory and I have sav.tor in a temp directory. Ive tried the using the command in both the temp and download directories and I get the same error message as above.

You need to unpack the tarfile you have:

tar xvzf sav-linux-free-9.tgz

Run this from the directory which has the sav-linux-free-9.tgz in it.

I have tried to unpack the tar file using the command you have listed and thats where Im getting the error message. Do I need to manually do something to get the process started.

I don't understand how you could be getting the same error - the filename I gave you is different.

Please could you do the following in your download directory:

pwd

ls

tar xvzf sav-linux-free-9.tgz

And post the commands and their output?

Thanks.
