Guided Exercise: Manage Files with Command-line Tools

Create, organize, copy, and remove files and directories.

Outcomes

Create, organize, copy, and remove files and directories.

As the student user on the workstation machine, use the lab command to prepare your system for this exercise.

This command prepares your environment and ensures that all required resources are available.

[student@workstation ~]$ lab start files-manage

Instructions

Log in to the servera machine as the student user. In the student user's home directory, create three subdirectories: Music, Pictures, and Videos.
1. Use the ssh command to log in to the servera machine as the student user. The systems are configured to use SSH keys for authentication; therefore, a password is not required.
```
[student@workstation ~]$ ssh student@servera
...output omitted...
[student@servera ~]$
```
2. In the student user's home directory, use the mkdir command to create three subdirectories: Music, Pictures, and Videos.
```
[student@servera ~]$ mkdir Music Pictures Videos
```

Use the touch command to create sets of empty practice files to use during this lab. In each set, replace X with the numbers 1 through 6.

Create six files with names of the form songX.mp3.
Create six files with names of the form snapX.jpg.
Create six files with names of the form filmX.avi.

[student@servera ~]$ touch song1.mp3 song2.mp3 song3.mp3 \
song4.mp3 song5.mp3 song6.mp3
[student@servera ~]$ touch snap1.jpg snap2.jpg snap3.jpg \

Move the song files (.mp3 extension) to the Music directory, the snapshot files (.jpg extension) to the Pictures directory, and the movie files (.avi extension) to the Videos directory.

Create three subdirectories for organizing your files, and name the subdirectories friends, family, and work. Use a single command to create all three subdirectories at the same time.

[student@servera ~]$ mkdir friends family work
[student@servera ~]$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student   6 Mar  7 21:01 family
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student   6 Mar  7 21:01 friends
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student 108 Mar  7 21:00 Music
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student 108 Mar  7 21:00 Pictures
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student 108 Mar  7 21:00 Videos
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student   6 Mar  7 21:01 work

Copy files that contain numbers 1 and 2 to the friends directory, and files that contain numbers 3 and 4 to the family directory. Keep in mind that you are making copies; therefore, the original files must remain in their original locations after you complete the step.

When you copy files from multiple locations into a single location, Red Hat recommends that you change to the destination directory before you copy the files. Use the simplest path syntax, whether absolute or relative, to reach the source for each file management task.

Copy files that contain numbers 1 and 2 to the friends directory.

[student@servera ~]$ cd friends
[student@servera friends]$ cp ~/Music/song1.mp3 ~/Music/song2.mp3 \
~/Pictures/snap1.jpg ~/Pictures/snap2.jpg ~/Videos/film1.avi \
~/Videos/film2.avi .
[student@servera friends]$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 student student 0 Mar  7 21:02 film1.avi

-rw-r--r--. 1 student student 0 Mar  7 21:02 snap2.jpg
-rw-r--r--. 1 student student 0 Mar  7 21:02 song1.mp3
-rw-r--r--. 1 student student 0 Mar  7 21:02 song2.mp3

Copy files that contain numbers 3 and 4 to the family directory.

[student@servera friends]$ cd ../family
[student@servera family]$ cp ~/Music/song3.mp3 ~/Music/song4.mp3 \
~/Pictures/snap3.jpg ~/Pictures/snap4.jpg ~/Videos/film3.avi \
~/Videos/film4.avi .
[student@servera family]$ ls -l
total 0
total 0
-rw-r--r--. 1 student student 0 Mar  7 21:04 film3.avi
-rw-r--r--. 1 student student 0 Mar  7 21:04 film4.avi
-rw-r--r--. 1 student student 0 Mar  7 21:04 snap3.jpg
-rw-r--r--. 1 student student 0 Mar  7 21:04 snap4.jpg
-rw-r--r--. 1 student student 0 Mar  7 21:04 song3.mp3
-rw-r--r--. 1 student student 0 Mar  7 21:04 song4.mp3

Copy the family and friends directories and their contents to the work directory.

[student@servera family]$ cd ../work
[student@servera work]$ cp -r ~/family ~/friends .
[student@servera work]$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student 108 Mar  7 21:05 family
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student 108 Mar  7 21:05 friends

Your project tasks are now complete, and it is time to clean up the directories. Use the rm -r command to recursively delete the family, friends, and work directories and their contents.

[student@servera work]$ cd ..
[student@servera ~]$ rm -r family friends work
[student@servera ~]$ ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student 108 Mar  7 21:00 Music
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student 108 Mar  7 21:00 Pictures
drwxr-xr-x. 2 student student 108 Mar  7 21:00 Videos

Return to the workstation system as the student user.

[student@servera ~]$ exit
logout
Connection to servera closed.
[student@workstation ~]$

Finish

On the workstation machine, change to the student user home directory and use the lab command to complete this exercise. This step is important to ensure that resources from previous exercises do not impact upcoming exercises.

[student@workstation ~]$ lab finish files-manage

RH124 Chapter 15 Lab 3: Install zsh Package

VictoriaB97

16 sty 2024

Hello,I am trying to finish up Lab 3 of the Chapter 15 Comprehensive Review Labs in RH124, and when I type in sudo dnf install zsh for the 6th specification of the lab, I get an error message basically saying that it failed to download metadata for the repo 'ansible-2.9-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms', and that they could not download repomd.xml. It provided a 404 status code.Can someone please let me know what the problem is, and if there is a current workaround? Thanks.

The first of two courses covering the core system administration tasks needed to manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux serversRed Hat System Administration I (RH124) is designed for IT professionals without previous Linux system administration experience. The course provides students with Linux administration competence by focusing on core administration tasks. This course also provides a foundation for students who plan to become full-time Linux system administrators by introducing key command-line concepts and enterprise-level tools. This course is the first of a two-course series that takes a computer professional without Linux system administration knowledge to become a fully capable Linux administrator. These concepts are further developed in the follow-on course, Red Hat System Administration II (RH134).This course is based on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux 9.0.Course content summaryIntroduce Linux and the Red Hat Enterprise Linux ecosystem.Run commands and view shell environments.Manage, organize, and secure files.Manage users, groups and user security policies.Control and monitor systemd services.Configure remote access using the web console and SSH.Configure network interfaces and settings.Manage software using DNFAudience for this courseThe primary persona is a technical professional with current or pending responsibilities as a Linux enterprise or cloud system administrator.This course is popular in Red Hat Academy, and is targeted at the student who is planning to become a technical professional using Linux.Prerequisites for this courseBasic technical user skills with computer applications on some operating systems are expected.Take our free assessment to gauge whether this offering is the best fit for your skills.Technology considerationsThere are no special technical requirements for this course.This course is not designed for bring your own device (BYOD).Internet access is not required but is recommended so that students can research and browse Red Hat online resources.
