Here is a brief list of frequently/commonly used UNIX commands:
- cp – copy files
- scp – secure copy files
- ls – list files (ls -l lists files with attributes)
- chmod – change attributes of files, etc. (chmod u+x … makes a file executable for you)
- cd – change directory
- mv – move files
- rm – remove files
- pwd – to find out in which directory you are currently
You can use e.g. “man ls” on the command line to find out more about a specific command. You could also try to google details …
If you have found out other useful commands, tricks, etc. let us know!
