Listing Files and their Attributes


How can I determine what files are in my UniTree directory?

    In UniTree, issue the command
    ftp> ls          -or-
    ftp> dir
    
    From an NCSA production machine, issue the command:
    % msscmd ls       -or-
    % msscmd dir
    

How can I determine the size of each file in my UniTree directory?

    In UniTree, issue the command
    ftp> ls          -or-
    ftp> dir
    
    The column preceding the date indicates the size of the file in bytes.

Upon executing the dir command, files appear to be of three types AR and DK. What does this mean?

    AR means the file is on archive (tape). DK means the file resides on disk (and hence can be retrieved quickly).
