Hi,
I want to install Tomcat on Z/os. Follow the guide I upload apache-tomcat-6.0.18.tar.gz to MVS using FTP command :
ftp>bin
ftp>quote site recfm=fb
ftp>quote site lrecl=80
ftp>quote site cyl
ftp>quote site pri=2
ftp>put D:\software\apache-tomcat-6.0.18.tar.gz '*****.TOMCAT.TAR.GZ'
and in USS I want to use tar command to uncompress '*****.TOMCAT.TAR.GZ', but met this problem:
decompress: FSUM6636 not in compressed format
Could someone tell me how to upload tomcat to MVS?THANKS!

Ok, I have solved the problem, and now Tomcat is running well.

Glad you solved your problem (somehow).

If you use the .zip version of the Tomcat distribution, then you can use the jar command to unpack it. Here are our instructions:

I tried tar -zxvf but had no success. I will use the zip format but would still like to know how you did this. Thank you.

Use the jar command to unpack the zip version.
