Well, on Darwin you use:
%: tar -xvzf filename
The -x flag indicates that you wish to x-tract the file(s)
The -v flag means "verbose"
The -z flag ****omit this flag if the file is not compressed****
The -f flag tells tar to extract from a file and not a tape archive
w/ secure shell I assume that you just use the above command, given that the computer you are interacting with is Unix based.
