What is a directory in the sense of a computer files?

Directories and folders are interchangeable terms. In the days before Windows (known as the "DOS" days), "Folders" were called, "Directories." To explain what a directory was, it was said to be "like a folder" which held documents (files) and sometimes envelopes (sub-directories) which could also hold other envelops and/or documents etc. etc. At some point Microsoft started referring to "Directories" as "Folders" supposedly to make it easier to understand for those new to computers. Computer files are always found in a named Directory. If a file isn't in a named directory, it is said to be in the "Root" directory i.e "In the root directory of the D: drive." Further, if a sub-directory/folder is in another directory, it is the "child" of the "parent" directory.


What is the web directory?

The terms “Web directory” and “search engine” are often used interchangeably. Web directories are organized Web site listings put together by human reviewers, whereas search engine listings are put together by automated systems and lack a navigable structure. Much of the confusion stems from the various hybrid models that have developed over time, as search engines have incorporated directory features to assist with issues such as categorization and site quality. There are advantages and drawbacks to using a Web directory as opposed to a search engine. One vehicle may be better suited to certain types of searches than the other. Directories place an emphasis on linking to site home pages and try to minimize deep linking. This makes directories more useful for finding sites instead of individual pages. Some directories attempt to solve this shortcoming by partnering with a search engine for supplemental listings.


How do you save a file to the root?

You can only save a file to the root directory of a system (in Unix) if you have permission to do so, and most users do not have this permission. Also, it is unnecessary (and a bad idea) to save files to the root directory; usually only other directories are placed here. Having said that, it depends on the program you are running, in terms of saving to the root directory.

Can you send the same article to several article directories?

The short answer is no. Not if they are reputable article directories because they will be looking to build Google Page Rank. Google rewards unique content, so if the same articles are submitted to multiple directories, then the Directories may be penalised. For this reason the majority of article directories insist in their Terms & Consitions that articles must not have been published eleswhere on the net.
