It appears to be having problems locating the file that you are trying to un-tar. Try using the full path, and checking that you've used the right cases, spelling, etc.

Linux is case sensitive so ensure you have the correct filename.

See if using the first few letters of the filename and press 'TAB' for the autocomplete feature.

ls -al

Look for the filename and then i.e.

tar zxvf ag <TAB>
