I have a file Server CentOS 5.10, its on the internet, so I compress all csv
into one file using (tar -czvf compressed_files.tar.gz  *.csv)  on this
server so that I can download them as one compressed file to save bandwidth,
Disk space on this server available is 50Gig, so when I copy the files onto
Redhat EL 5.9 and decompress them using (tar -zxvf *.gz) It decompresses
maybe 80% then get error:

 

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: Unexpected EOF in archive

tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

 

what might be the issue here?
