I have 2 gigs of content to my paysite.
But I'd like to upload them as tarball, which is easy to uncompress at my linux server.
But how in the hell, and using what software, I make tarfiles with my Win2k?
Please help, I'm loosing my mind...

Why don't you just zip or rar it and uncompress it on the web server?
RAR provides much better compression than tar.

If rar is not already on your server then you can download it from http://www.rarsoft.net/winrar_downloads/rarlnx28.sfx (linux version) or ftp://ftp.netlab.sk/public/rarsoft/rar/rarbsd.sfx (BSD version).
You then install it (>./rarlnx28.sfx)
and run it (./rar) to get a list of options.

You can read the user guide at http://www.rarsoft.net/html/support_userguide.html
