(ubuntu 18.04)
I'm attempting to extract an odbc driver from a tarball and following these instructions with command:
tar --directory=/opt -zxvf /SimbaODBCDriverforGoogleBigQuery_2.4.6.1015-Linux.tar.gz
This results in the following output:

I was specifically looking for the .so driver file. All the above is on a docker container. I tried extracting the tarball locally on Ubuntu 18.04 (Same as my Docker container) and when I use Ubuntu desktop gui to extract by double clicking the tar.gz file and then clicking 'extract', I do indeed see the expected files.
It seems my tar command (tar --directory=/opt -zxvf /SimbaODBCDriverforGoogleBigQuery_2.4.6.1015-Linux.tar.gz) is not extracting the tarball as expected.
How can I extract the contents of the tarball properly? The tarball in question is the linux one on this link.
[edit]
Adding screens of contents of the tarball per comments. I had to click down two levels of nesting to arrive at 'stuff':
The instructions you linked to do not match the contents of the file I found from here. The first .tar.gz contains two other .tar.gz files. I looked into the 64 bit one and it has:

Your .so is in the lib directory. Based on the instructions it looks like you need to extract this file (or the 32 bit if appropriate) and rename, in this case SimbaODBCDriverforGoogleBigQuery64_2.4.6.1015 to simba/googlebigqueryodbc. The tar command is doing what it is told but the instructions are way off.
I want to zip a set of directories and files on my centos 8 VM.
There are 3 directories and 1 file which I want to zip in such a way that only env.conf file will move to /etc/env.txt after unzipping it and remaining directories will be unzipped at current location.
Is there any way to achieve this.
drwxr-xr-x. 9 root root 114 Feb 25 12:40 config
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 340 Feb 25 09:01 env.conf
drwxr-xr-x. 9 root root 4096 Feb 28 05:11 platform
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 135 Feb 28 07:49 install
I don't think this is possible. in fact this is considered a vulnerability if you could do that.
Imagine you download a zip file from some website. and after you unzip it in a temp folder. It registers itself as a service by writing a file in /etc somewhere, and gets control over your pc.
Example: zip-slip
You could however create a one-liner that extracts and moves the file wherever you want like this:
unzip <filename> && mv env.conf /etc/env.txt
No idea why but it seems that Windows explorer unable to view symlinked directories that the target is not on the same directory as the source target.
Is there a way to fix it? As it also make win32 applications unable to read the files under the symlinked directory. (I understand Windows equivalent mklink exist, but I need to do it in WSL's ln.)
Thanks a lot.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 6 Jun 6 10:55 target -> source
Now view the output in Windows explorer:
As you can tell, the target folder is recognizable by Windows Explorer
As well as the file testfile is accessable in Windows Explorer
Counter Example:
$ rm -rf target #Just clean things up
$ ls
source
$ ln -s /mnt/d/symlink_test/innerFolder/source ../upper_target #make a symlink to upper dir, or any directory that is not in the same dir, with the source dir being absolute path
$ ls -l .. #List files on the upper dir

lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 6 Jun 6 11:04 upper_target -> /mnt/d/symlink_test/innerFolder/source
$ ls ../upper_target
testfile
However, but now, if you view it in Windows Explorer, the upper_target will become a single file instead of a folder, like above:
I want access to my windows 10 desktop with Cygwin. I tried this
$cd cygdrive/c/
$ls -al
But I can't see no one folder named "Desktop".
As you discovered the Desktop for any user is located in the disk at
C:\Users\[username]\Desktop
and its equivalent for Cygwin is
$ cygpath -u 'C:\Users\[username]\Desktop'
/cygdrive/c/Users/[username]/Desktop
It is NOT a Cygwin specific issue. Also with Windows Commond Prompt there is no
Desktop folder at the root of the C: disk structure

how to get my .tar.gz file back
please guide me,,
advance thanks,,
Updated Answer
If you want to get all files from /some/place on your server, to /home/here on your local machine, you would either do this:
cd /home/here # change directory before starting FTP
ftp server ... # connect
cd /some/place # go to desired folder on server
bi # ensure no funny business with line-endings
mget * # get all files
or you can change directory locally, within FTP like this:
ftp server ... # connect
cd /some/place # go to desired folder on server
lcd /home/here # LOCALLY change directory to where you want the files to 'land'
bi # ensure no funny business
mget * # get all files
Original Answer
I cannot understand your question at all, but you are doing some things wrong.
You cannot use GET or MGET to get a folder (directory) like you are trying to do with mget backup. You can only GET a file. Now your file may be a tar-file with more than one file in it, but it is still a file.
If you are getting tar-files and binary files, you should use BINARY mode to ensure line-end characters that may occur in binary files are not translated between Windows and Unix line-endings. So, as a matter of course, you should issue BI command before you get files.
If you have several files in your backup directory, you should probably do cd backup then bi
then mget *
