Below are some simple examples of basic Linux commands for accessing and changing your files and directories. For all of these commands, you can run There are many options to the The letters on the left (“drwxr-xr-x”) indicate the “permissions” of this file\/directory. The “d” indicates that it is a directory. The next 9 characters indicate that it is “readable”, “writable”, and “executable” by you and “readable” and “executable” by both the members of your project group and the world. The commands you can use to change these “permissions” are chmod<\/a><\/b> and umask<\/a><\/b>.<\/li>\n This command will move the file Move to the newly created This takes you up one level in the SCC directory structure.<\/li>\n This command will make a copy of By default you will be asked to confirm that you want to remove a file by typing y<\/b>. You could avoid this by using the command line option Back to Top<\/a><\/p>\n There are four main archiving (combining multiple files into one archive<\/i> file) and compression (reducing the size of a file) tools on Linux systems with associated tools to reverse the process. It is common to both archive a set of files and then compress the archive, such as a file named man<\/span> command_name<\/span><\/code> to see the manual page (system documentation)<\/a> on the command, including an explanation of the available command line options.<\/p>\n\n

You will also want to be able to use a text editor to create or modify an existing text file. A simple graphical editor to use is gedit<\/span><\/code>, but more complex editors like emacs<\/span><\/code> and vi<\/span><\/code> are also available by default.<\/div>\n<\/li>\nscc1$<\/span> mkdir<\/span> newdir<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\nscc1$<\/span> ls<\/span> newdir<\/span>\r\nnewdir<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nls<\/span><\/code> command such as ls -l<\/span><\/code> to list the files in a directory in “long” (verbose) format such as:<\/p>\nscc1$<\/span> ls -l<\/span> newdir<\/span>\r\ntotal 0\r\ndrwxr-xr-x 3 adftest2 adftest 512 Oct 28 16:03 newdir<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nscc1$<\/span> mv<\/span> myfile newdir\/newfilename<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nmyfile<\/span><\/code> into the directory newdir<\/span><\/code> and simultaneously rename it to\u00a0newfilename<\/span><\/code>.<\/li>\nscc1$<\/span> cd<\/span> newdir<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nnewdir<\/span><\/code> directory. You can also specify a “full path” (a path that starts with a \/<\/b>) such as cd \/usr\/local\/bin<\/span><\/code>. Typing just cd<\/span><\/code> (or cd .<\/span><\/code>) by itself will always take you to your home directory.<\/li>\nscc1$<\/span> cd<\/span> ..\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nscc1$<\/span> cp<\/span> newfilename filecopy<\/span>\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\nnewfilename<\/span><\/code> and name it\u00a0filecopy<\/span><\/code>.

Empty directories are removed using the command rmdir<\/span> directory_name<\/span><\/code>.
