I downloaded it on my windows machine and it is named :

"zcs-5.0.6_GA_2314.UBUNTU8.FRANKLIN"

I downloaded it to my server 8.04 machine with wget and when I go to list the file it says this:

The url is:
http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=224243&use_mirror=voxel&filename=zcs-5.0.6_GA_2314.UBUNTU8.FRANKLIN.tgz&a=51069948


"root@ubuntu:/tmp# ls
downloading.php?group_id=224243 files
root@ubuntu:/tmp#

Does that mean it is still dowloading or is that the name of the file?? Why is it named something different? How do I execute it?

I am trying to simply download the file and execute it.](*,)

To download it, you need the direct link, which sourceforge puts at the top of the page when you go to download a file: wget http://voxel.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/zimbracommunity/zcs-5.0.6_GA_2314.UBUNTU8.FRANKLIN.tgz

Then to extract it: tar zxvf zcs-5.0.6_GA_2314.UBUNTU8.FRANKLIN.tgz

That should extract it to a folder, after that, though, you'll need to read the documentation or see if there is a README inside the folder, because I've never used zimbra before...

Thank you for opening my eyes on that one! ):P I am coming from a windoze environment and trying to be more aware. :)
