There's actually no such thing as a "hidden" file or folder in Linux. In Windows, files and folders are hidden by setting a file attribute on them, and is used to prevent novice users from viewing or modifying them. In Linux, a file or folder can be "hidden" from most shells and file managers by simply prefixing a "." in front of the name (.settings, for instance). A simple 'View > Show hidden files' or "ls -a" is all it takes to list them. The purpose is thus purely for cosmetic / organizational purposes.
You can "hide" folders (unless the file manager is set to display them) by prefixing a "." in front of the file name.
The terminal command "mkdir" (without the quotes) will create a new directory.
There is no text output. That command would create a directory / folder called "DesktopCS604".
mkdir First\ Second\ Third\ Fourth\ FifthThat would create a folder / directory with the name First Second Third Fourth Fifth.
Its a Folder
mkdir directoryname
/etc/apache2
Yes.
mkdir aptech/Linux
You can remove a folder recursively with the command: rm -r dirname
mkdir this is the new directory command. or in kde/gnome right click in a folder and choose new folder.
# rm -rf Target-folder Will remove the folder Target-folder and all it's contents .
A directory is the same as a folder. Go to Start>My Computer> go to the folder you want to make a directory in>click "New Folder" at the top of the screen (or right click and go to new>folder)>Name your folder>press enter>You just made a new folder!
mkdir directory-name
