Common Configuration Tasks

The following sections describe the basic system tasks that can be performed.

• Modifying File Attributes

• Creating and Navigating Directories

• Copying Files

• Moving Files

• Deleting Files and Removing Directories

• Displaying Directory and File Information

• Repairing the File System

  Note:

  When a file system operation is performed with a command that can potentially delete or overwrite a file system entry (such as a copy, delete, move, rd, or scp command), a prompt appears to confirm the action. The force keyword performs the copy, delete, move, rd, or scp action without displaying the confirmation prompt.
