Re: Linux hidden file equivalent

[alessandro . pasotti . ap]

Hi, I'm not sure about other methods, but one simple way to "hide"
a file is to give it a name which begins with a dot (.).
If you then type "ls" you won't see it.

Furthermore: if you type "rm *.*" it will not be removed

Of course there are still many ways to see (or remove) it.


Bye.

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

Thanks
Masoud
