How to Use Ubuntu Server Disk Top
Ubuntu Server CLI Basics
Ubuntu Server does not have a graphical user interface (GUI) by default, which means there is no disk top or file explorer like the one you might be familiar with on a desktop version of Ubuntu. However, you can still manage your files and directories through the command line interface (CLI) using various tools and commands.
Here are some basic commands to get you started:
To navigate to a directory, use the "cd" command followed by the path of the directory. For example, to go to the "/var/log" directory, type:
bashCopy code
cd /var/log
To list the contents of the current directory, use the "ls" command. For example, to list the files and directories in the current directory, type:
bashCopy code
ls
To create a new directory, use the "mkdir" command followed by the name of the new directory. For example, to create a new directory called "myfolder", type:
bashCopy code
mkdir myfolder
To copy a file or directory, use the "cp" command followed by the source and destination paths. For example, to copy a file called "myfile.txt" from the current directory to a directory called "myfolder", type:
bashCopy code
cp myfile.txt myfolder/
To move a file or directory, use the "mv" command followed by the source and destination paths. For example, to move a file called "myfile.txt" from the current directory to a directory called "myfolder", type:
bashCopy code
mv myfile.txt myfolder/
To delete a file or directory, use the "rm" command followed by the name of the file or directory. For example, to delete a file called "myfile.txt", type:
bashCopy code
rm myfile.txt
Note that these are just a few of the basic commands you can use in the Ubuntu Server CLI. There are many more commands and tools available for managing files and directories, so I recommend doing some research and exploring the Ubuntu Server documentation to learn more.
