Terminal, Shell and tar

Hello fellow dreamhosters...I am having issues with ftp (can upload one file at a time, but it disconnects on my trying multiple files) today and while awaiting my support ticket to get answered I need to install movable type. I uploaded the MT-4.1-en.tar.gz file

I am not real familiar with shell commands, etc. so, here is what i have done (which is NOT working)

I am on a mac, os x, so I use terminal

ssh me@mydomain.com

then it asks for the password, i give it that, then i used this command line

tar -xzf MT-4.1-en.tar.gz

[happy]$ tar -xzf MT-4.1-en.tar.gz
tar: MT-4.1-en.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[happy]$

Now, I know the file is there, but perhaps I need to move in to the directory?

any help is appreciated
thanks

Try Sftp for simultaneous uploads.

Use this quickstart guide. Unpack everything locally, then upload.

You have to use gzip -d to uncompress then untar. There is a link for gzip on the quickstart page.

Use this quickstart guide. Unpack everything locally, then upload.

this is my initial problem, i am having issues uploading multiple files...and have a support ticket in...

will look at the gzip -d

I am not sure if I resolved this...or if dreamhost fixed it and i haven't gotten their response yet...but

I redownloaded movable type, unstuffed it and it's uploading as i type

thanks
