Question
How can I process files in a Linux environment?
Answer
Some of our MIKE models are capable of running in a Linux environment.
Pre- and postprocessing of the files are carried out in Windows so the following commands (from Windows) can be used for transferring files between the two environments:
scp -r {path\dir} {user}@{IP address}:{path} | Copy files from Windows PC to Linux PC using PowerShell |
scp -r {user}@{IP address}:{path} {path\dir} | Copy files from Linux PC to Windows PC using PowerShell |
The table below contains a list of Linux commands that are frequently used for scripting and managing files.
tar zxvf {file}.tgz | Unpack compressed files (from gzip) |
tar czvf {file}.tgz {files or directory} | Compress files or directories to tgz file |
ls ls -lah | List files in a directory |
cd {dir} cd .. | Change directory |
mv {file} {path/dir} | Move, and rename, files |
rm {file} rm * | Delete files |
nano {file} | View a log or text file in an editor |
nano | Write a new ShellScript (*.sh) |
chmod u+x {file} | Make a ShellScript executable (*.sh) by the current user |
./ | Run an executable ShellScript |
sed -i -e 's/\r$//' {file} | Troubleshoot and fix ShellScripts created on Windows (*.sh) |
history | List the history of recent commands |
