− | =Basic Commands=
| |
− | With the terminal you can create, copy, move, and delete files and directories. The following are the most important commands to do this.
| |
− | * cd - change directory
| |
− | * mkdir - make a new directory
| |
− | * ls - list directory contents (''use option -l to see details'')
| |
− | * cp - copy files
| |
− | * rm - remove files (be careful, there is no recycle bin or trash - once you delete, it's gone)
| |
− | * rmdir - remove directory
| |
− | * mv - move or rename a file or directory
| |
− | * nano - simple text editor

− | Here is a transcript of the use of these commands on the CS server, showing how they work and what is printed on the screen. Note that the part after the "cs299@cs:~> " is the part that was typed by the user - so the user first typed "pwd" and then enter, the system printed "/u1/class/cs299", and the system then printed the prompt "cs299@cs:~> " and waited for the user to type the next command. You can also watch a [video demo].
