I have beating my head around this, until I realised you can't use file-roller in the terminal.
I use ssh to get into my server and now I wonder what other archive manager can I use simply from the terminal? what I am looking for is an archive manager that supports as many formats (or at least the most used ones like 7zip, rar,...) as file-roller.

Is this a GUI app?– George UdosenNov 16, 2017 at 18:20

What exactly are you trying to compress/decompress? There are many, many single-format compression applications available to the shell.– user535733Nov 16, 2017 at 18:23

Yes i know there is a lot of different single-format tools but what i am looking for is a universal tool for most of the common formats that i can operate from the terminal.– BumbleBIINov 16, 2017 at 18:28

1File-roller is just a graphical front-end. It uses other command line tools to do the job. I think there isn't an "universal" tool but command line 7zip for Linux comes close.– user692175Nov 16, 2017 at 18:36
