Listing, copying, and removing directories - Exercise Result

Your UNIX session should look similar to the one shown in the following two figures. In the first figure, the script command reports that it is recording your commands in the file. Next, the ls -a command shows the hidden files in the current directory. The next command produces a recursive listing of the images directory. Finally, the images directory is copied and the cp command requires the -r option in this case.
