mv file /path/to/directory
ls
rm -rv /path/to/directory
/var/log
In Linux: ls In Windows: dir
rm -rf <path to directory>
To remove a directory that is full with other files or directories, use the below command. rm -rf directory
Assuming the directory is in your Home directory use: rmdir directory-name This will fail if there are files within the directory. In this case, use rm -r directory-name.
Assuming to and do are valid files and the directory done exists, it will place a copy of to and do in the done directory.
System-wide configuration files are usually found in /etc. Personalized configuration files are stored in the user's home directory, in files and subdirectories preceded by a "." in their name.
In my opinion, the most commonly used Linux commands are: ls - list files and folders in a directory CD - change directory mkdir - make a directory cp - copy mv - move/rename rm - remove man - manual pages find - um, find Having a good command of all of these and you should be able to navigate around in the command line comfortably.
There is no specific directory on which you have to access NFS shares. You can mount a specific NFS share as root, or a subdirectory therein, such as /home.
One of the most noticable differences between Linux and Windows is the directory structure. Not only is the format different, but the logic of where to find things is different In Windows, you use this format to access a directory: C:\Folder1\subfolder\file.txt In Linux, this is the basic format: /Folder1/subfolder/file.txt You'll notice that the slashes are forward slashes in Linux versus backslashes in Windows. Also, there is no drive name (C:, D:, etc.) in Linux. At boot, the 'root partition' is mounted at /. All files, folders, devices and drives are mounted under /. Though it is not apparent from this example, it is important to note that files and folders in Linux are case sensitive. /Folder1/subfolder/file.txt is not the same as /folder1/subfolder/file.txt.
