How to create a file in a directory on CentOS?
You can create a file in a directory in CentOS using the following command:
- Navigate to the directory where you want to create the file using the cd command. For example, go to the directory /home/user/files:
- Navigate to the files directory located in the user’s home directory.
- Create a file using the touch command. For example, create a file named test.txt.
- Please touch test.txt.
- Use the ls command to view the files in the directory and confirm that the file has been created.
- list files
Before creating the file, make sure you have sufficient permissions to create a file in the target directory. If you don’t have the necessary permissions, you can use the sudo command to run the above command with superuser privileges.
