tell me how to open and uncompress tar.gz file in win XP
can i convert it into .zip file and zip to tar.gz ( tell me free soft)

use powerarchiver. Even though it is paid ware, it will not expire.

I guess 7zip opens it and maybe winzip, too. BTW, what software is there in the .tar.gz file?

I want to backup all my sites. i am using (frihost) they 've linux server. so for uploading and downloading my sites, I want the soft (free) which can compress my files into tar.gz file

i guess winrar also does that..

Linux
For windows see *www.cgi-interactive-uk.com/backup_data_windows.html

Agree with you. Opens almost all formats I have come across.

But it's not exactly free of cost. And AFAIK, 7zip which is free can open those files.

You can try powerzip also or winace.

WinRAR
