File Management Practice
Exercise 1
Purpose: To practice creating directories, copying files between directories, and moving files between directories on a Linux system.
Perform these steps on Matrix or another Linux system:
- Create a directory in which to practice (for example, “file-practice”) using the
mkdir
command. - Change to that directory using the
cd
command. - Create these directories:
- portable-document-format
- open-document-text
- january
- february
- march
- april
- Create these files (they can be empty files):
- january.pdf
- january.odt
- february.pdf
- february.odt
- march.pdf
- march.odt
- april.pdf
- april.odt
- Make a copy of each of the PDF files in the
portable-document-format
directory using a single command. Use thecp
command with a filename pattern. - Make a copy of all of the ODT files in the
open-document-text
directory using a single command. - Move (don't copy) all of the files related to January into the
january
directory using a single command. - Repeat the previous step for February, March, and April.
- Use the
tree
command to verify your result. It should look like this:
. ├── april │ ├── april.odt │ └── april.pdf ├── february │ ├── february.odt │ └── february.pdf ├── january │ ├── january.odt │ └── january.pdf ├── march │ ├── march.odt │ └── march.pdf ├── open-document-text │ ├── april.odt │ ├── february.odt │ ├── january.odt │ └── march.odt └── portable-document-format ├── april.pdf ├── february.pdf ├── january.pdf └── march.pdf
Exercise 2
Purpose: To practice creating directories, copying files between directories, and moving files between directories on a Windows system.
Perform these steps on a Windows system:
- Create a directory in which to practice (for example, “file-practice”) using the
mkdir
command. - Change to that directory using the
cd
command. - Create these directories:
- portable-document-format
- open-document-text
- january
- february
- march
- april
- Create these files (they can be empty files):
- january.pdf
- january.odt
- february.pdf
- february.odt
- march.pdf
- march.odt
- april.pdf
- april.odt
- Make a copy of all of the PDF files in the
portable-document-format
directory using a single command. Use thecopy
command with a filename pattern. - Make a copy of all of the ODT files in the
open-document-text
directory using a single command. - Move (don't copy) all of the files related to January into the
january
directory using a single command. - Repeat the previous step for February, March, and April.
- Use the
tree /f
command to verify your work. The output should look like this:
Folder PATH listing Volume serial number is FC3B-8615 C:. ├───april │ april.odt │ april.pdf │ ├───february │ february.odt │ february.pdf │ ├───january │ january.odt │ january.pdf │ ├───march │ march.odt │ march.pdf │ ├───open-document-text │ april.odt │ february.odt │ january.odt │ march.odt │ └───portable-document-format april.pdf february.pdf january.pdf march.pdf
