Comcast down due to DNS server issue. Change DNS Server to 8.8.8.8 to temporarily fix the problem.

When you use ls command it lists all the files.

If you want only to see subdirectory or folder names. Use find command.

find ./ -type d

backup

dd if=/dev/hda1 bs=1k conv=sync,noerror | gzip -c | ssh -c blowfish user@remotehost "dd of=filename.gz bs=1k"

restore

dd if=filename.gz | ssh -c blowfish root@destinationhost "gunzip -c | dd of=/dev/hda1 bs=1k"

Ever ran into a situation where you want to tar files starting with characters say from d to k? Here is how to do it.

tar -cf tarfilename.tar [d-K]*

This will create a tar file named tarfilename.tar and will include files whose names are starting with any character from d to k.

Did you Notice the small d and capital K? if you put small k files starting with capital K will be left out so make sure that you put capital letter for the bigger one.
