option -c in the ls command sorts files by the time of their last modification, but if this is a directory, then this is the time of the last modification of files in it.
Hi nezabudka,
For file systems that keep track of it, "crtime" refers to the time at which a file was created.
The last modification time (sometimes just called "mtime") of a directory is usually the time that the directory was created, the last time a link to a file was created in that directory, or the last time a link to a file was removed from that directory, whichever occurred most recently. But, of course, it can also be set to an arbitrary time at least by the C language futimens( ), utimensat( ), and utimes() functions. Changing the size of an already existing file in a directory does not change the modification time of any directory that contains that file.
Note that if a file has multiple hard links (not symlinks), that single file can exist in more than one directory.

Hello,
Using the instruction mget (within ftp) and with "Interactive mode off", I want to get all files from directory (DirAA), but not the files in sub-directories.
The files names don't follow any defined rule, so they can be just letters without (.) period
Directory structure example: ... (0 Replies)

Find all files in the current directory only excluding hidden directories and files.
For the below command, though it's not deleting hidden files.. it is traversing through the hidden directories and listing normal which should be avoided.

bup-ls
bup-ls(1) General Commands Manual bup-ls(1)NAME
bup-ls - list the contents of a bup repository
SYNOPSIS
bup ls [-s] [-a]
DESCRIPTION
bup ls lists files and directories in your bup repository using the same directory hierarchy as they would have with bup-fuse(1).
The top level directory contains the branch (corresponding to the -n option in bup save), the next level is the date of the backup, and
subsequent levels correspond to files in the backup.
When bup ls is asked to output on a tty, it formats its output in columns so that it can list as much as possible in as few lines as possi-
ble. However, when bup ls is asked to output to something other than a tty (say you pipe the output to another command, or you redirect it
to a file), it will output one file name per line. This makes the listing easier to parse with external tools.
Note that bup ls doesn't show hidden files by default and one needs to use the -a option to show them. Files are hidden when their name
begins with a dot. For example, on the topmost level, the special directories named .commit and .tag are hidden directories.
Once you have identified the file you want using bup ls, you can view its contents using bup join or git show.
OPTIONS -s, --hash
show hash for each file/directory.
-a, --all
show hidden files.
EXAMPLE
bup ls /myserver/latest/etc/profile
bup ls -a /
