Using Files and Directories

In Unix, we call "folders" "directories."

At the command line you are always "in" a directory.

In Unix a file's name is also its location.

• You can find out which directory you are in with the pwd command.
• You change the directory you are in with the cd command.
  
• Files are renamed and /or moved with the same command: mv
• Files are copied with the cp command.
• Files are removed with the rm command. There is no "Undo" for rm!
  

Tasks:

• Consider a common GUI task such as dragging a group of files from one folder into another. How might that be easier from te command line? harder?
