Ah so I catch you on this list now *grin*

Try it without the - sign so it reads

tar zxvf smbldap-installer-1.2.tgz

if your unsure what each bit is here you go

z - using gzip compression you can tell this from the tgz extension
x - extract
v - verbose
f - File I think

If you have a gui installed on the machine try using that to extract the
file or do it through windoze and then copy over the directory using
something like winscp
