Just downloaded a bunch of PDF files and I wanted to put them on the server so they could be accessed easily. Since the pdf file list was over 200 items, did not want to go edit every line in the file manually from Your-personal-intranet-Part-2.pdf to <a href="Your-personal-intranet-Part-2.pdf">Your-personal-intranet-Part-2</a><br /> What to do? First was to make a list of the files. $ ls *.pdf > pdflist The you get: ... ... Yagi-foil-HDTV-antenna.pdf Yet-another-amplified-acoustical-guitar.pdf Yet-another-cheese-making-episode.pdf Yet-another-continuity-tester.pdf Yet-another-dtv-antenna.pdf Yet-another-simple-portable-disposable-barbecue-.pdf Yet-another-usb-coolerwarmer.pdf Yet-another-usb-lamp.pdf Your-first-Android-Application.pdf Your-personal-intranet-Part-1.pdf Your-personal-intranet-Part-2.pdf First was to make a list of the files.

Wrote this script a while back to use the server to get information for me.

You can actually use it on Microsoft systems also, but it requires more than usual extra setup. More about setting up here: ( http://www.instructables.com/id/Linux-setup-for-SSH-password-less-login/ ). $ ssh typo1 password: _ Anyway, if you are setting up a new system and or recovering from a hard disk crash, setting up the ssh keys to all the servers or systems you log into can be a lot of fun.
