if u can login to ur webserver over telnet or ssh - fine.
then untar the file with

tar -xvzf TSS_setup_linux122.tar.gz

- switch into the generated TSS dir
- then follow the introduction on the readme file

I get this response

tar: z: unknown option
usage: tar {txruc} [vfbFXhiBEelmopwnq[0-7]] [-k size] [tapefile] [blocksize] [execlude-file] [-I include-file] files ...

Then the prompt again.

Should this file be in the root dir? I have moved it into the public_html dir ?

What flavor of Linux are you using?

If tar doesn't know about "z", then it can't decompress the archive. You need to make sure that gzip (not the same as zip!) and its libraries are installed.

Any reasonably recent version of Linux (ie. less than 3-4 years old) should have gzip.

OK I have it untar'd and uploaded it to the webserver

so now i have the TSS directory there, how do I go about executing the TSS app?

(By the way thanks for all this help in advance... I have about 150+ people that we are considering moving to TS from RW so this help is not with out it's benefits)
