- decompress:
tar -xvf test.tar.gz
tar Fxf test.tar.bz2
unzip -o test.zip

tell me how those commands work.

FileBox uses the same commands with differents arguments maybe, but not uses own compressors/decompressors.
If they work then tell me what are you trying to compress or decompress
Thanks CepiPerez for your support and fast reply

As you suggest i executed from xterm:

Code:
~ $ tar -czvf /home/user/MyDocs/test.tar /home/user/MyDocs/Comptest/
tar: removing leading '/' from member names
home/user/MyDocs/Comptest/

~ $ tar -czvf /home/user/MyDocs/test.tar.bz2 /home/user/MyDocs/Comptest/

~ $
and 3 files test.tar, test.tar.gz and test.tar.bz2 where created in MyDocs folder.

Then i tried to create a zip archive but i got:

Code:
~ $ zip /home/user/MyDocs/test.zip /home/user/MyDocs/Comptest/             
-sh: zip: not found
In fact i don't remember to have any zip file compressor installed.

Finally i tried to decompress the archive files just created and i got:

Code:
~ $ tar -xvf /home/user/MyDocs/test.tar.gz
tar: invalid tar magic
~ $ 
~ $ tar Fxf /home/user/MyDocs/test.tar.bz2  
tar: invalid option -- F
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) multi-call binary

Usage: tar -[czxtvO] [-X FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)]...

~ $
The tar version i am using is:

Code:
~ $ tar --version
tar: unrecognized option `--version'
BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) multi-call binary

Usage: tar -[czxtvO] [-X FILE] [-f TARFILE] [-C DIR] [FILE(s)]...

~ $
I hope this can help you diagnose the problem
