LINUX List files and directories using SSH

In order to list all files and directories using an SSH client, you would need to execute the appropriate command. The command name, in this case, is ls and it accepts various parameters.
When using the command alone (without arguments):
ls
the output will be all visible files and folders without additional formatting or information.
In order to view more information about the files (such as their permissions, ownership, last modified date, etc) and at the same time to list the files and directories, you would need to supply additional arguments to the command. The most common arguments are as follows:
ls –a(Short from –all)
Lists all files and folders including hidden (starting with a dot) files and directories.
ls –R
(Short from –Recursive) Lists recursively (i.e follows subfolders as well) all files and folders under the current directory.
ls -l
(Short from –long) Lists all files and folders, each on a separate line, and provides additional information about them (permissions, ownership and modified date)The arguments, as is with most Unix based commands, can be combined. For example:
ls –alR will list all files (even the hidden files starting with dot), provide more information about them and will continue recursively into each subfolder.

Unix / Linux - Special Variables

W e will discuss in detail about special variable in Unix. In one of our previous chapters, we understood how to be careful when we use certain nonalphanumeric characters in variable names. This is because those characters are used in the names of special Unix variables. These variables are reserved for specific functions. For example, the  $  character represents the process ID number, or PID, of the current shell − $echo $$ The above command writes the PID of the current shell − 29949 The following table shows a number of special variables that you can use in your shell scripts − Command-Line Arguments The command-line arguments $1, $2, $3, ...$9 are positional parameters, with $0 pointing to the actual command, program, shell script, or function and $1, $2, $3, ...$9 as the arguments to the command. Following script uses various special variables related to the command line − #!/bin/sh echo "File Name: $0" echo "First Parameter : $1" echo "Second Parameter :...
