Exercise: Managing Folders and Files
You need to organize files and folders for a course project. You will start with a basic tree
structure that you need to create, and then you will perform various operations on this tree
structure.
Part 1: Create the file tree
1. Create a main folder called ‘course_project’.
2. Inside this folder, create the following subfolders: ‘documents’,’images’,’code’,’resources’
3. In the ‘documents’ folder, create two text files: ‘[Link]’, ‘[Link]’
4. In the ‘images’ folder, create two image files (you can create empty files or use sample
images): ‘[Link]’, ‘[Link]’
5. In the ‘code’ folder, create a script file: ‘code.c’
6. In the ‘resources’ folder, create an Excel file: ‘[Link]’
course_project
documents images code ressources
report [Link] code.c [Link]
notes [Link]
Part 2: Edit the files
1. Edit the `[Link]` file to put a summary of your project.
2. Add some notes in the `[Link]` file.
Part 3: Using Unix Commands
1. Display the folder tree from the parent folder using “ls -R”.
2. Display the contents of the ‘[Link]’ file using ‘cat’.
3. Copy the ‘code.c’ file to the ‘ressources’ folder.
4. Rename the ‘[Link]’ file to ‘notes_project.txt’.
5. Delete the image ‘[Link]’ in the ‘images’ folder.
6. Move the ‘resources’ folder into the ‘documents’ folder.
Part 4: Cleanup
1. Go back to the main ‘course_project’ folder and check the folder and file structure with ‘ls -R’.
2. Delete the ‘[Link]’ file.
