cd	pwd
cd [path]	(same)
cls	clear
copy [old] [new]	cp [new] [old]
del [file]	rm [file]
move [old] [new]	mv [old] [new]
tree	tree (Linux only) ls -R
mkdir [dir]	(same)
rmdir [dir]	(same)
help [cmd]	man [cmd]
type [file]	cat [file]
date /t	(same without /t)
time /t	date
netstat -an	(same Linux only)
netstat -rn	(same Linux only)
ipconfig /all	ifconfig -a (Linux only)

Windows DOS Commands

In the last two classes we have been playing around with command line on windows. We learned a few useful commands:

dir	list out files
cd	show current working directory
cd [path]	change to [path] directory
cls	clear screen
copy [old] [new]	copies the old file to new
del [file]	deletes the file
move [old] [new]	moves the old file to new
tree	shows the tree of the current directory
md	creates new directory
mkdir	creates new directory
rmdir [dir]	deletes directory dir
help	lists help information
type [file]	outputs file contents to screen
date /t	outputs date to screen
time /t	outputs time to screen
netstat	gives us network connection information
netstat -an	-a: all connections -n: IP addresses
netstat -rn	-r: routing information
ipconfig /all	gives us network information
