I'll leave below also a cheat sheet :)
Own directory and user control: Here
Create a soft or symbolic link?
To create a symlink at /home/ubuntu which references the original file /var/www, use: ln -s /var/www /home/ubuntu
or
Create link to /var/www in the current directory do ln -s /var/www
-scommand makes it a symbolic link
-nmakes it possible de create a folder-type symlinkNote that wherever you currently are is where the shortcut will be created.
Upload a file/folder through ssh using Secure Copy (scp):
Use the following syntax for AWS:
scp -i <keypair> /path/to/myfile.txt [email protected]/home/ubuntu/myfile.txt
Find a document on the server:
sudo find / -name foo.txt (foo.txt is the file to search)
Get full path of a file/folder
readlink -f file.txt
Switch to root:
sudo -i
Switch user between terminals:
su - user2
Getting the Size of a Directory:
sudo du -sh /var
See you file system storage:
df -h
Remove directory:
sudo rm -rf folderName
Kill a port being used
First let's see who's using the port, as an example let's use 80.
Located the port being used via: sudo netstat -tulpn | grep :80
# Example log: tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1027/nginx -g daemo
Killed the process: sudo kill 1027
Find all files containing specific text:
grep -rnw '/path/to/somewhere/' -e 'pattern'
