Listing Directories with fls
Listing Directories with fls
The fls command lists directories or files.
About fls
With fls, you can list existing either local or remote directories or files.
NOTE If the remote FTAM implementation does not support the concept of
directories (i.e., NBS–9 type documents), fls does not work; you will
receive an error message.
When fls is finished, your local host redisplays its prompt. When you
work with remote directories, the working directory for fls on the remote
host is a default directory that depends on the remote FTAM
implementation. For HP-UX FTAM responders, it is your remote home
directory.
Using fls
The syntax for the fls command is as follows:
fls [-al] [ name [-z access ] ] ...
The names are one or more directories or files to be listed. If you are
familiar with the HP-UX ls command, you will notice the similarity.
However, for fls, the directories can be either local or remote.
NOTE Whether a file is local or remote depends on how you specify the file
name. See “Specifying File and Directory Names” earlier in this chapter.
