tar is the Tape ARchiver. Note how it is not the “put stuff into an archive and then send it to a machine different from yours to unpack archiver”. It is absolutely not designed for that, and it’s not a great format to begin with even for the task that it IS designed for.
Please use literally any other archive format.
