How to Find the Number of Files in a Folder on Linux Servers: Step-by-Step Guide
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.
