Hidden files
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to hide files on Linux' Kind Regards. Gibbo |
Hi,
Hidden files in Unix and Linux start with a dot. To hide the file my.test, rename it to .my.text Hope this helps. BTW: To see them use ls -la or ls -a whatever you prefer. |
On Unix operating systems, directories and files are hidden by putting a period before the name. So if you wanted to make the file "test.txt" hidden, you would do:
Code:
mv test.txt .test.txt |
Depends on your file system and more technical what not. But if you are looking for the quick kill (a la hidden files in Windows), rename the file with a "." at the beginning of the file name.
Eg: if the file was named file.png rename it to .file.png EDIT: Pressing Ctrl + h will toggle hide status of hidden files in Nautilus (which is the default file browser in your distro, Mint) |

place a dot in front of the file name.
