forgive my ignorance.
I did a search of this sub-forum for "tar -xp" and variations on the same w\out success, so here goes...
Scenario:
filename.tar file.
Desired Task:
I want to be able to extract only files from the user's public_html folder (and all those under it as an option) from the archive.
Usual target path:
/home/$user/public_html/*
(the archive is on a nas, so extracting to the current directory where the archive lives will have to do, for now).
What I've tried:
tar --extract --file=-filename.tar $user (I think this worked, but I was i a hurry and at the end of a long day)
What I've read to try:
tar -xp <something> (haven't had the chance to try anything along these lines)
Thank you for your time and assistance.
