MX on Linux: Difference between revisions

The tilde symbol '''~''' denotes the home directory for the current user. Sub-directories within the current user's folder can be identified by '''~/documents''' or similar notation. To reference a folder in root or any other area, the prefix is always '''/'''.

 

 

To make a new folder in the current directory, type <tt>sudo mkdir folder_name</tt>. To give a folder and all its sub-folders and files full permissions (think carefully whether you really want to do this) type something like <tt> sudo -R ugo+rw /var/www/html</tt>.
