macromedia flash flashcom : installing

Hi all,

I am eager to work with fcs but I am stuck at the start!

I have uploaded the installation file in ftp.
location from root /home/name
It is uploaded as a file called FlashMediaServer2.tar.gz

But when I refresh the directory, it is called FlashMediaServer2.tar (so
without the gz)

I tried it in both ASCII and binary. But the file keeps changing!


I even tried to ignore the problem and went to SSH and tried to execute it
but when I enter:
gunzip FlashMediaServer2.tar.gz it said : no such file or directory.

When I entered: gunzip: gunzip FlashMediaServer2.tar it said:
FlashMediaServer2.tar: unknown suffix -- ignored


What to do? Am I uploading it with the wrong program? I use wsftp.
Or... am I uploading it in the wrong directory?


Please help me :)
Miranda

In addition to this, I noticed that the file changes after I entered gunzip
FlashMediaServer2.tar.gz.
the first time I run this commando, ssh does not return any info.
The second time I run the commando gunzip FlashMediaServer2.tar.gz it said
no such file because at this point the file name has changed from
FlashMediaServer2.tar.gz to FlashMediaServer2.tar

I appreciate any comments!

Mike,

You can untar it like:
tar xvf FlashMediaServer2.tar

-or-

to unpack the original:
gunzip < FlashMediaServer2.tar.gz | tar xvf -

If it is still a gzip file, but without the .gz extention, try to rename it
first like:
mv FlashMediaServer2.tar FlashMediaServer2.tar.gz

Good luck.

Hi Nixnax,

That is awesome of you.
Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.

I guess I am a real windows freak, so the simple commands on linux are hard
for me :)

Another problem :(

The tar part worked. The files extracted.
But they are not extracted to a directory flashmediaserver.
But to a directory called FMS_2_0_r1145_linux

So I did this:

[root@webserver root]# cd FMS_2_0_r1145_linux
[root@webserver FMS_2_0_r1145_linux]# ./installFMS

ERROR: Your distribution, unknown, is not supported by this
Macromedia Flash Media Server installer.

[root@webserver FMS_2_0_r1145_linux]#


What did I do wrong now?
