It would help to know what command you typed in and what error message you got.

Sorry i type tar -zxvf linneighborhood.tar.gz then it says

tar (child): linneighborhood.tar.gz cannot open no such file or directory
tar (child): error is not recoverable:exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

In Linux filenames are case-sensitive. Go to the dir where the file is stored and type tar -zxfv ./Lin<TAB>[/url]. The [b]./ is to make sure that you refer tar to the current directory. It's usually enough to enter the first few letters of the filename and hit tab. If these letters are unambiguous, hitting tab will autocomplete the filename. If more than one file matches these first letters, hitting TAB again will show you a list of matching names.
