tape archiver and gnuzip

i have many troubles with installing a vpn client. Now i try to follow another installing list:

There i have to download this archive-file: anyconnect-predeploy-linux-64-4.3.05017-k9.tar 6.59.23 AM.gz and extracting the tar archive with tar xzvf But i get the following error message 

tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

What does that mean? Is there a package missing?

Solution

  • Use quotes:

    tar -xvzf "anyconnect-predeploy-linux-64-4.3.05017-k9.tar 6.59.23 AM.gz"

    Or escape all spaces:

    tar -xvzf anyconnect-predeploy-linux-64-4.3.05017-k9.tar\ 6.59.23\ AM.gz
