How to enable tar?

i know its part of ...last dump i had, it had to be enabled....now this one doing same thing but dont have a friend to enable it this time i never learned how
the site tar -cf filename.tar filename cmd gives me back
500 'site tar -cf example.tar example': Command not understood
like last one
 
What happens when you use absolute path to tar command instead of tar only.

Example
Code:
/bin/tar cf filename.tar filename
 
works fine that way thro ssh, but when i login to the dump from ftp the tar dont work that way , need to know how to enable it on ftp so other users can tar like old dump

i've always had someone enable it on every dump ive ever had, its still enabled on my old one, you can tar from ftp.....just dont know how to enable it .... therefore it cant be used on new one yet..........thanks for all your help .....
 
Maybe look at site_cmd directive in your glftpd configuration file.

Code:
############################################################################
# CUSTOM SITE COMMANDS                                                     #
# site_cmd [CMD NAME] [EXEC/TEXT] [PATH TO FILE]                             #
############################################################################                
site_cmd RULES                 TEXT        /ftp-data/misc/site.rules
site_cmd LOCATE                EXEC        /bin/locate.sh
...
