Display the content of a folder including hidden files and additional information using this command:
ls -la ~/.ssh
- Note: l stands for long, it will display additional information about the files and directories
- Note: a stands for all, it will display hidden files as well
~/.ssh: find .ssh folder in root directory
The terminal shows:
drwx--xr-x 1 user staff 3389 10 Apr 11:11 id_rsa
It is about file permissions on unix/linux/whatever on the net.
The first character tells you if it is a directory (marked as ‚d‘), then you continue in groups of three for read (‚r‘), write (‚w’) and execute (‚x’) permissions for the owning user, group and everyone else.
