HowTo: Create Hidden Directory Folder

From linux command line terminal, here's a quick tip on creating a hidden directory folder from your hard drive.

Simply issue the following to create a hidden directory from linux terminal window.

Let us do it from temporary folder
# cd /tmp

Then create the hidden directory folder
# mkdir .hideme

Go inside the hidden directory folder
# cd .hideme
# ls -la

Create files under a hidden directory folder
# cd .hideme
# vi file1
# touch file2
# cp /tmp/*.txt /tmp/.hideme

Logically, the created files under a hidden directory folder are also hidden by default ls command parameters.

There you go, enjoy.
