Practice: Work with Files

List the files in the /bin directory.

Display the type of file of /bin/cat, /etc/passwd and /usr/bin/passwd.

Copy the following file to your home directory: /usr/share/man/man1/cp.1.gz

List the contents of your home directory and notice the cp.1.gz file. Then display the type of the cp.1.gz file.

Rename the cp.1.gz file to cp.1.html (use mv).

Display the type of the file you renamed. Is it going to be GZ or HTML?

Create a directory ~/touched and enter it.

Create the files today.txt and yesterday.txt in touched.

Change the date on yesterday.txt to match yesterday’s date.

Copy yesterday.txt to copy.yesterday.txt

Rename copy.yesterday.txt to kim

Create a directory called ~/testbackup and copy all files from ~/touched into it.

Use one command to remove the directory ~/testbackup and all files into it.
