Unzipping tar.gz giving error

[msk19994]

Hey Guys
So first i was backing up data on my other server that had webmin so what i did was to tar a folder i used this command

tar -czvf filename.tar.gz /var/www/html/myfolder

ok and now that folder was tarred to filename.tar.gz

then i went to the new hosting and wget the filename.tar.gz on it
and now when i am untar it via this command

tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz

ie i am using the above command in my domain directory where the file got wget
so after untarring some files i get this error via ssh

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Thankyou

are you sure its tar and not gzip.

try gzip -d yourfile.tar.gz
