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.

Check your man pages for the exact flags, they tend to vary. (man tar -or- atropos tar)
