SOME USEFUL UNIX COMMANDS

Last Update: 30 August 2000
First, some terminology:
Type this at the prompt:in order to do this:
cdchange to your home directory
cd directorychange to the directory named directory
lslist all files and subdirectories in the current directory
ls -Flist all files and subdirectories in the current directory
but mark the subdirectories with a slash (/)
so that you can tell the difference between them and the files
pwdprint the current (or "working") directory
(so that you'll know where you are if you get lost changing directories)
