Hi Team,

Can you please help me out to extract a tar file locally which contains a .deb file and then need to extract the .deb file and then copy to destiny(remote machine).

**ansimanager@ip-10-157-85-102:/var/lib/awx/projects/optimizer\_deployment/content$ tar -tf optimizerappl-5.5.1-rel-12.tar**  
**optimizerappl.msdlca\_5.5.1-rel-12\_all.deb**

Many Thanks  
Thomas Xavier
