Now your terminal is connected to a computer in the CSE Basement and commands run by you will run on that computer.

Trying some Commands

Now you can try running some commands like cd, ls, pwd, mkdir, and cp on your computer and the remote computer.

Below are some specific commands to try-

  • cd ~ , Changes directory to home directory
  • cd , Changes current directory to specified directory.
  • ls -lat , shows file or directory, size, modified date and time, file or folder name and owner of the file, and its permission.
  • ls -a , lists all files including hidden files
  • ls 'directory' where 'directory' is /home/linux/ieng6/cs15lwi23/cs15lwi23abc , where the abc is one of the other group members’ username. lists the files in the group member's directory.
  • cp /home/linux/ieng6/cs15lwi23/public/hello.txt ~/ , cp stands for copy. This command is used to copy files or group of files or directory. It creates an exact image of a file on a disk with different file name.
  • cat /home/linux/ieng6/cs15lwi23/public/hello.txt , It reads data from the file and gives their content as output. It helps us to create, view, concatenate files.

Here, pwd shows my curent directory

cd~ changes my current directory to the home directory

and ls -lat lists all the files in my current directory.

To log out you can use the following-

  • Control-D
