Files

• used to store the information that you usually
  work with such as an HTML document or an image
• common file extensions .htm, .gif, .jpg, .au
• you own files that you create and can set
  access permissions to control which other users
  can have access to them
• files are contained within a directory

Directories

  directories
• you can create directories in your home directory
  to hold files and other sub-directories
• directories allow you to structure your
  information in a way that makes best sense to you

Pathnames

• Every file and directory in the file system can
  be identified by a complete list of names of the
  directories that are on route from root
• /usr5/webdir/library/teams/ust/homepage.htm
• is the pathname for the UST home page
