I tried tar with xvfz and -xvfc both didn't work in Cygwin on Windows.
$ tar xvfz sshpass-1.0.5.tar.gz
tar (child): sshpass-1.0.5.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Here cmd tar with '-'
$ tar -xvfz sshpass-1.0.5.tar.gz
tar: z: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
Question : 1 . How does tar works with - or without _ ?
Please suggest to execute tar -xvfz sshpass-1.0.5.tar.gz.

tar xvfz sshpass-1.0.5.tar.gzseems to be correct. What displaysls -l ./sshpass-1.0.5.tar.gz? – Amessihel – 2016-01-21T10:44:27.483yes, @Amessihel. $ ls -l | grep 'sshpass' -rw-r--r-- 1 Santosh.Maddela Users 98362 Aug 7 2011 sshpass-1.05.tar.gz – Santosh – 2016-01-21T11:10:00.857
When combining 'short' options (hyphen and single letter) 'f' must be last:
– dave_thompson_085 – 2016-01-21T11:39:12.207tar -xzvf sshpass-1.0.5.tar.gz. For 'old-style' options (no hyphen) the order within the clump doesn't matter. See https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Short-Options.html#SEC37 Also your text says 'xvfc' but your code doesn't; 'x' and 'c' together (in either format) would be an error. And yourlsshows1.05but you gave1.0.5in the commands; those are not the same.Thanks a lot @dave_thompson_085, got it now.
