Filesystem

The Linux Filesystem 

 The directories you will find most useful are: 

 

 

 

 

 /bin - basic programs (ls, cd, cat, etc.) 

 /sbin - system programs (fdisk, mkfs, sysctl, etc) 

 /etc - configuration files 

 /tmp - temporary files (typically deleted on boot) 

 /usr/bin - applications (apt, ncat, nmap, etc.) 

 /usr/share - application support and data files 

 

 

 

 

 There are many other directories, most of which you will rarely need to enter, but having a good familiarity of the layout of the Linux filesystem will help your efficiency immensely.
