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

:confused: Could you issue the command ls on your desktop using your terminal and post it.

unfortunately ubuntu is new to me so i donīt really understand what u mean by issuing the command ls and posting it.

after entering ls:
kwasi@60-84Kwasi:~/Desktop$ ls

vpnclient-linux-x86_64-4.8.01.0640-k9.tar.gz

now how do i post it?

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?
