UNIX File System Hierarchical Contains files

Text files Special files

Standard I/O – Keyboard, Display Device files

Directories

File Structure - Hierarchical

Paths

RelativenewDirectory

newDirectory/myFiles/homework1.doc

Absolute/usr/users/reiser/newDirectory

/usr/users/reiser/newDirectory/myFiles/homework1.doc

Commands mkdir Make a directory

mkdir newDirectory Makes a new directory named

newDirectory as a child of the current directory

Commands rmdir Remove a directory

rmdir newDirectory Removes a directory named

newDirectory. If specified as a relative path (not

beginning with a /) the directory to be removed must be in the current working directory.

Commands ls List contents of a directory

ls newDirectory Lists the contents of newDirectory

ls Lists the contents of the current working

directory ls –a

Lists all the contents of the current working directory, even the hidden files

Commands ls List contents of a directory

ls –l Lists all the contents of the current

working directory in a long listing which displays the file permissions as well as the owner, group, size in bytes, modification date

Commands cd Change directory

cd // sets current working directory// to your home directory

cd otherDirectory

// sets current working directory

// to otherDirectory

Commands cd Change directory

cd .. // sets current working directory// to the parent directory or

moves // one level up the hierarchy

cd ../..

// sets current working directory

// to 2 levels up the hierarchy

Commands mv Move or rename a file

mv file1.txt file1.html // renames file1.txt to file1.html

mv file1.txt newDirectory/file1.html// moves file1.txt to

newDirectory/file1.html

To do

1. telnet into your account2. Display your home directory.

What directories exist in your home directory?

3. Do you have a public_html directory?

If not, create a directory under your home directory and call it public_html

To do4. Change directories into your

public_html directory. 5. Change back to your home directory.6. Change to the root directory.7. Change back to your home directory.8. Create a subdirectory called junk9. Change into junk and create two

subdirectories: j1 and j2.10. Remove j1, j2 and junk.

File Permissions The various flavors of UNIX including

LINUX and OS/X store permissions for every file.

There are three independent permissions Read Write Execute

You can change permissions for your files.

File Permissions for Directories The various flavors of UNIX including LINUX

and OS/X store permissions for every directory.

There are three independent permissions Read - read names in a directory Write - make changes (create, move, copy, remove) Execute - search the directory (cd into it)

You can change permissions for your directories.

Permissions: an octal representation

chmod permissions file Read: 4 100 Read + Write: 6 110 Read + Execute: 5 101 Read + Write + Execute: 7 111

Write: 2 010 Write + Execute: 3 011 Execute: 1 001

chmod permissions file Each file has three sets of permissions Permission modes exist for you your_group world

rwx rwx rwx

n chmod 777 myWideOpenFilen chmod 744 myOtherFilen chmod 700 mySecretFile

In class Do you have a directory under your home

directory named public_html? If not, create a directory under your home

directory and call it public_html Set file permissions for public_html:

chmod 755 ~/public_html Change directories into your public_html

directory. Create a new directory named 172.

4. Create 3 subdirectories of 172: Assignment1, Assignment2, and Assignment3.
