Be sure that you are in the same directory of that file you're trying to "untar" before giving the command:
tar xzf vpnclient-linux-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz
Probably located in your desktop.
cd ~/Desktop
tar xzf vpnclient-linux-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz

after entering ls:
kwasi@60-84Kwasi:~/Desktop$ ls
vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz

From the output of ls, it shows that you're "untarring" a wrong filename.
It should be:
cd ~/Desktop
tar xzf vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz

do you have the vpnclient-linux-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz? Will you be able to share that?
