   Just wanted to make sure you're aware, tar support is built-into synchro.net   
   since v3.19 I think.   
      
   Also, you don't need to change the cwd (cd command), that's usually a red   
   flag/code smell:   
    - tar (for Linux at least) has the `-C` option   
   ```   
          -C, --directory=DIR   
                 Change to DIR before performing any operations.  This option is   
   order-sensitive, i.e. it affects all options that follow.   
   ```   
   Also this option looks possibly relevant to your needs:   
   ```   
          --one-top-level[=DIR]   
                 Extract all files into DIR, or, if used without argument, into a   
   subdirectory named by the base name of th   
   e archive (minus standard compression suffixes recognizable by -   
   auto-compress).   
   ```
