You will need to be more clear about the target - is 'oracle' a directory?
A directory for Oracle is created on the Unix OS. There is a "OFA" which is Oracle's standard directory structure. One of the reasons for adhering to this OFA is ease of administration. All Oracle databases are set up the same--therefore, a new DBA knows where to look for certain files in specific places. The Unix System Administration creates an Oracle DBA account. That account is allowed to create directories under an Oracle/database designated section only.
The easiest way is to use the 'cp' command. Put the name of all the files in the 'cp' command line and use another directory as the target; all the files will be copied to the new directory. Note: you may need to use the -r (recursive) copy option if you have subdirectories in the source directory.
Neither are actually files. They are references to directories, the current one and the parent directory, respectively. They can be used in file copy and move operations in place of explicitly printing the directory names. For instance:mv ./* ..would move all files from the child directory into it's parent.
cp project9/inputfiledat project10 Assuming that you are in a directory that has project9 and project10 as subdirectories.
Recursively removes all files from the directory and all under it.
/boot
LS typically stands for "List" and is a command used in Unix and Unix-like operating systems to list directory contents. It displays the files and folders within a specified directory.
Use the command: ls z* for those files in your current working directory.
Configuration files are typically stored in the /etc directory. They can, of course, be anywhere the implementer wishes them to be as long as the process knows where to find them.
find -type f | wc -l
No files are actually "invisible." However, certain files may not be displayed by default as a convenience to the user. These are setting / configuration files for programs in the user's directory.
Unix files can be easily transferred to windows via a network connection either by using FTP or by using Samba. Samba allows a Unix file system to be mounted/shared on a Windows system to look like a windows directory.
