winrar should do it, I know winrar wil do it on windows.

http://rarlabs.com/rar/rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz

Theres a link to winrar for linux.

tar.gz is the linux zip basically. If your extracting it on a windows I use winrar, on a linux it should come standard.

 

i know but it isnt .tar.gz anymore :\ i just needed to know how to open / install it onto a linux server

thanks though

 

To untar teamspeak for linux using ssh you just use this command.

Code:

tar -xjf filename.tar.bz2

Where filename.tar.bz2 is the file you want to untar.

 

If ur doing it through SSH do above, should work. Is that how your doing it?

 

To install teamspeak you need ssh, which i think is what they are doing. If you need anymore help just ask.

 

I was thinking they may be hosting it on thier own box, since TS dosn't need huge ammounts of power/bandwidth.

Well, you can take it from here then.

 

ts takes minute bandwidth and space, its a goldmine if you haev some old pc and a half decent internet connection lol

 

Thanks peeps, done it

<3 u all =)
