You can list all files via the following command:
ls -a
If you want to get a complete listing of all files at and below a given
directory structure you can use the "find" command as follows:
cd to_desired_directory
find . -print # There's a "." (dot) after the word "find" here
You'll want to use the dot "." instead of the asterisk "*" so all files
(even those beginning with a dot) are printed
If you want to print only:
directories: include the "-type d" argument
non-directory files: include the "-type f" argument
executable files: use the "-type x" argument
writable files: use the "-type w" argument
readable files: use the "-type r" argument
There's a small handbook masquerading as a manual page on the find
command. And yes, "find" is a highly abnormal command in Unix/Linux given
the argument list.
