hello dear linux-experts

i have set up a http-server in opensuse 12.3

i want to have a listing

but - if i do a ls -R in

martin@linux-70ce:/srv> ls -R

i get a bunch of information - too much - see

see the explanation - here


 If you want a recursive directory listing in Unix, one of the following may be useful:
ls -R     Not all versions of ls have -R
find . -print     Should work everywhere
du -a .     Shows you both the name and size

what can i do to get only the overview on the directories in the forlder svr

love to hear frrom you

ls -h
(this is to stop my answer being rejected because it is too short)

I’m not quite sure what you are looking for.

If you just want the list of all directories here and below, you can use:


find . -type d

Another options is
ls --group-directories-first

Try “tree”, perhaps. Or have a look with a file browser, mc for instance.
