On Nautilus storage server in Stratos DC there is a storage location /data which is used by different developers to keep their data (no confidential data). One of the developer siva has raised a ticket and asked for a copy of his/her data present in /data/siva directory on storage server. /home is an FTP location on storage server from where developers can download their data. Below are the instructions shared by system admin team to accomplish the task:

Question. Make a siva.tar.gz compressed archive of /data/siva directory and move the archive to /home directory on storage server.

**My Answer: **
1) tar cvf siva.tar.gz /data/siva
2) sudo mv siva.tar.gz /home

Is this question expecting to set ftp perm ?? because when I submit it tells your answer is wrong.

It is probably being picky about the directories being stored in the archive, which they will be the way you have done it. If /data/ is owned by root and is stored in the archive along with its permissions, then siva might not be able to extract it.

Try

cd /data
tar cvf siva.tar.gz siva

to create archive
