you must do the tar operation in the same directory.  You were in "download" according to your other message, and the file is in /root.

Your other message:

> > [root at mail download]# tar xzvf MailScanner-4.28.5-2.tar.gz
> > tar (child): MailScanner-4.28.5-2.tar.gz: Cannot open: No 
> > such file or directorytar (child): Error is not recoverable: 
> > exiting now
> > tar: Child returned status 2

If you are not in the same directory, you must give the full path.
