Re: using expect script to do sftp

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

A tar file is an archive file.  It's like a SAVF.  Or a ZIP file.  That 
sort of thing.  You can't *run* a tar file.

You need to unpack/install the contents of the TAR file.  i.e. restore 
the contents of the archive.  Then, you can run the stuff that was 
inside it.
