Purpose: To practice creating directories, copying files between directories, and moving files between directories on a Linux system.

Perform these steps on Matrix or another Linux system:

1. Create a directory in which to practice (for example, “file-practice”) using the mkdir command.
2. Change to that directory using the cd command.
3. Create these directories:
   • portable-document-format
   • open-document-text
   • january
   • february
   • march
   • april
4. Create these files (they can be empty files):
   • january.pdf
   • january.odt
   • february.pdf
   • february.odt
   • march.pdf
   • march.odt
   • april.pdf
   • april.odt
5. Make a copy of each of the PDF files in the portable-document-format directory using a single command. Use the cp command with a filename pattern.
6. Make a copy of all of the ODT files in the open-document-text directory using a single command.
7. Move (don't copy) all of the files related to January into the january directory using a single command.
8. Repeat the previous step for February, March, and April.
9. Use the tree command to verify your result. It should look like this:

.
├── april
│   ├── april.odt
│   └── april.pdf
├── february
│   ├── february.odt
│   └── february.pdf
├── january
│   ├── january.odt
│   └── january.pdf
├── march
│   ├── march.odt
│   └── march.pdf
├── open-document-text
│   ├── april.odt
│   ├── february.odt
│   ├── january.odt
│   └── march.odt
└── portable-document-format
    ├── april.pdf
    ├── february.pdf
    ├── january.pdf
    └── march.pdf

Purpose: To practice creating directories, copying files between directories, and moving files between directories on a Windows system.

Perform these steps on a Windows system:

1. Create a directory in which to practice (for example, “file-practice”) using the mkdir command.
2. Change to that directory using the cd command.
3. Create these directories:
   • portable-document-format
   • open-document-text
   • january
   • february
   • march
   • april
4. Create these files (they can be empty files):
   • january.pdf
   • january.odt
   • february.pdf
   • february.odt
   • march.pdf
   • march.odt
   • april.pdf
   • april.odt
5. Make a copy of all of the PDF files in the portable-document-format directory using a single command. Use the copy command with a filename pattern.
6. Make a copy of all of the ODT files in the open-document-text directory using a single command.
7. Move (don't copy) all of the files related to January into the january directory using a single command.
8. Repeat the previous step for February, March, and April.
9. Use the tree /f command to verify your work. The output should look like this:

Folder PATH listing
Volume serial number is FC3B-8615
