i am able to download a .TAR file, which contains a .GZ file, which in turn contains multiple .grb2 file (with no extension). i am needing to get these files into a directory and add in the ".grb" extension.

Hi @dlindner01, FME itself doesn't have a functionality to unpack tar/gz archives. However, if you install 7-Zip into your machine (assuming that your platform is Windows), you can unpack them using that through the SystemCaller transformer.
