I'm trying to extract a tarball using tar -xvf that's in the format (where * is any word character) *@*@*@*.tar.gz but I think tar is trying to find the file at a remote location.  The error I get is for the command tar -xzvf tasf423@2012-02-22\@00:03:04\@ja41nf.tar.gz:tar (child): Cannot connect to 2012-02-22@00: resolve failedI tried using back slashes to escape it and even tried replacing the @ symbols with %40 but none of this seemed to work. Is there any way to extract a tarball using the tar command with an @ in its name?
Using tar on a file with an @ (at symbol)
linux;terminal;tar
The problem is the colons, not the at signs. Use --force-local.
