I am inside the home directory of a Linux machine (which I logged into using Putty).
From there on I need to find a folder named my-web1.0
.
Is there any way to go know the path of that directory named my-web1.0?
You can use the find
command:
find $HOME -name my-web1.0 -type d -print
If that doesn't produce any results, the folder is probably somewhere else. Try /
instead of $HOME
but that might take some time (searches the whole disk).
[EDIT] That will print the path. Use cd "path"
to go there. The quotes are only necessary when the path contains spaces.
if my-web1.0 is within your home folder:
cd ~
find . -type d -name 'my-web1.0'
if you don't know where it is at all:
find / -type d -name 'my-web1.0'
Try using the tree view
sudo apt-get install tree
then
tree -L 1
or just use
tree
You can obtain more information about it using
man tree
locate
can be handy and fast if you are runningupdatedb
