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:
FWIW you would likely be able to save a lot more bandwidth using xz compression. In the below example you can create your compressed archive all on the fly to your remote server.
$ tar -cJvf - target-file-dir/ | ssh root@remote.server.com "cat
/remote/archive.tar.xz"
