How to Find the Number of Files in a Folder on Linux Servers: Step-by-Step Guide Month Read Expired: 1 Minute To find the number of files in a specific folder on your Linux server, follow these steps. For example, to count the total files under the '/home/hostingturkiye/' directory: Open the terminal and navigate to the '/home' directory: cd /home Then, list the contents of the target folder using the 'ls' command. Here, we list files in the 'hostingturkiye/' directory: ls -1 hostingturkiye Finally, count the listed files using the 'wc -l' command, which counts the number of lines (each line representing a file): ls -1 hostingturkiye | wc -l Using these commands, you can easily find the total number of files inside the 'hostingturkiye/' folder.
