I have been asked to test a web application running inside Tomcat server in Linux Environment. Regarding this I have a question. After logging in as a user, how can we open a file browser from your current command prompt/terminal? I have tried firefox (After logging in as a normal user), but it did not work. | |||

Are you sure the server even has firefox installed? None of the tomcat-servers I have encountered has had firefox installed (usually not even x-windows). The usual way to connect directly to a tomcat server is to to point your browser to http://name.of.tomcat.server:8080 or http://ip.of.your.server:8080 (8080 is the default port but can be almost anything really) | |||

From command line, you'd start your file manager (or browser) with $PWD following it (firefox $PWD might work, I don't have firefox installed) $PWD is the current directory in command line. | |||

cd,mv,cp, ... Alternatives could be Nautilus, Thunar, or if it's got to be a command line one, Midnight Commander (mc). – RobinJ Nov 12 '11 at 22:49
