that listed just the directories and not all the other files on our webserver.
Topic 22 of 29 [unix]: ls
Response 2 of 4: Paul Terry Walhus (terry) * Wed, Sep 25, 2002 (10:13) * 12 lines
The equivalent of "dir" in DOS, just better. ls -ltr will list files with long description, according to timestamp , recursive . In other words list files, newest file last. If files scroll out of buffer, do ls -ltr |more. You can list by filetype, name etc. using wildcards. ls *.html show only files with extension .html
If you want to list only directories, not files, do for instance:
ls -latr |grep ^d
See "grep" below. This search term filter out only lines starting with a "d"
When you list the long format, that can only be directories:
drwxrwxr-x 6 dark dark 4096 Apr 29 23:49 .netscape
ls -la will show long description of all files, also those starting with a dot. Apart from the directory pointers . and .. there's the rc-files and other configuration files comparable to a kind of ini-files, reflecting user settings for various sessions and applications.

Could anyone kindly tell me how to let "ls -l" output the file details
sorted by file size? Or any shell tools or scripts are also welcome.
If you have the GNU vesion of ls, use the -S option.
Otherwise, pipe it through sort:
ls -l | sort -n +4
Sort by the 5th field, numeric, descending:
ls -l |sort -k5rn,5

Response 4 of 4: User & (spring) * Thu, Jul 24, 2003 (11:30) * 5 lines
ls -l | sort -k 5n
or better still, if u have gnu ls:
ls -Slr
