This does not look like a tar archive

[root@c0002242 lfeng]# tar -zxvf /opt/test/ALLscripts.tar.gz -C /opt/test1

tar: This does not look like a tar archive

tar: Skipping to next header

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Could you please help me on this ?

I was facing this error because my file was not downloaded yet and I was trying to extract it :).

Run the command

$ file ALLscripts.tar.gz

Compare the output, if it's gzip (as shown below) then use unzip tool to extract it

$ ALLscripts.tar.gz: gzip compressed data,from Unix
