Linux hidden file equivalent -Reply

[Ranjeet . Utikar]

Masoud, 

rename all the files which you want to hide with names starting with ". " ,

like

mv foo  .foo

it should hide the file from ls. you can still view the file by vi .foo and
listing of the file by typing ls -a. 

hope it helps.

Hi All;
Is there an equivalent to DOS's hidden file in Linux?
If so how may I hide a file.

Thanks
Masoud
