Dear experts
I have received a tar file containing several files with full path. Now I need to restore it in another system but when I want to extract files by using
tar -xvf tarfile
it wants to create all files with full paths again in new system in which I don't have enough previleges.
How can I restore these files in my directory without creating their full path??
Thanks and regards
try this:
tar -xvf tarfile -C new_dir
I have tried but it doesn't create any file in the new directory even with full path. Is that because I am using Solaris8??
Regards
Thank you very much. It was successful.
Cheers
