Hello,

I have the following problem:

I'm making a tar file (from posix shell) of ascii files arranged in
directories and sub-directories.

Then I ftp the file to PC or UNIX station.
Doing tar xvf there (UNIX) gives me the error message:

x mytar, 0 bytes, 0 tape blocks
x mytar/mydir, 0 bytes, 0 tape blocks
tar: directory checksum error

What is the problem? do I have to issue some special flags while running
tar?

Any ideas/suggestion?

TIA,
Noam
