I use the locate command.
Locate just queries a database and prints out the location of the file as it is in the database. The only drawback is that you have to index your files regularly if your directories and files change to keep the database up to date.
updatedb -->Indexes files. (you can do this in a cron job if you don't want to do it manually)
locate filename -->prints the location of the file filename.
It is the Home Directory.
The root directory is usually /.
The root directory is /. The home directory is /home/user.
mv file /path/to/directory
The Linux Filesystem Hierarchy is used to help determine the file structure in the Linux Operating System. It defines the Directory structure and directory contents.
The /, or root directory.
the command 'cd ~' will get you there .
You change the current working path directory in Linux by issuing the cd command, followed by the directory you want to change to. For example:cd /dev/inputwould take me to the that directory.
"/" is the root directory in Linux. Make sure not to confuse this with the "/root" directory, which is the home directory for the user "root" (similar to "Administrator" on Windows)
Type cd / to get to the root directory, get to your home directory, or get to the directory you wish to search from and type the below command.find . -size +500000 -printThis command would search for anything that's larger than 500MB. This value can be adjusted to a smaller value if no files are found that are this large.
mkdir directoryname
mkdir aptech/Linux
