would like to know wats the command i should type to hide folders in red hat 8.0 ? can somebody pls help on this

regards

Code:

 mv filename .filename

r u sure Mv is the Command ? can any pls clarify is it Mv filename.extension ?

also folder hiding not possible ?

U can try "man" for clarifiying with commands.just do:

Code:

 man commandname

^^ also remember "." files are hidden files as "$" files in DOS.and in Linux/UNIX-like only small letters(so no Mv) are used and SPACE must be btwn each command options(for eg: "mv <SPACE> -i) .even folders can be hidden using this way.

Code:

:~$ mv dir .dir

I think u need to see *tldp.org and *www.linuxcommand.org/
^ Hope that helps.also if ur new to Linux,let me remind u,ur not getting the privilages with newer Linux distros(Debian,Ubuntu,Fedora etc) running this ancient one.

follow the commands praka123 suggested.

And remember, the files starting with a "." are hidden files in all kinds of Unix type operating systems. Hiding files in this way does not provide real security. You might want to try using some encryption instead.

seahorse is a GnuPG frontend available in GNOME.

there are tools(GUI) offered in newer GNOME(v2.14 onwards) for security purpose.pesselus(pessulus is a lockdown editor for GNOME) can be used
sabayon is yet another tool offered in GNOME.

u can use chwon command to give right to a file or a dir.
so only u & root user can see.
