====== Steps For Creating A tar File ====== Sometimes it may not be possible to upload a file on this wiki site. Only files having a certain set of extensions can be uploaded. In such a situation, it is best to put all these files with un-supported extensions into a tar file and upload the tar file to this site. STEPS TO BE FOLLOWED: * Copy-paste the files to be uploaded into one single directory (project_info in this example) in your computer. * Run the following command from the command line to create the tar file: tar -cvf projDir.olds_project_info.tar ~/path/of/project_info * The tar file should be created in the present working directory. * Upload the tar file on the wiki site using the "Add images and other files" option on the menu tab that is seen when a page is opened in edit mode.
