On a remote machine:
dan@solstice:/tmp$ touch a b c
dan@solstice:/tmp$ tar cf test.tar a b c
dan@solstice:/tmp$ bzip2 -z test.tar
dan@solstice:/tmp$ file test.tar.bz2
test.tar.bz2: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k
If you visit that remote file and save it, the result will have the .bz2
extension but won't actually be compressed:
dan@solstice:/tmp$ file test.tar.bz2
test.tar.bz2: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
This doesn't happen with compressed remote files which aren't tar archives.
