Question Directorie listing in Human form for data sizes
I have seen it done at my job before, there is a command that will make a notepad and show the directorie path, subfolders, and size of the subfolders? But i dont want it to go lower than 2 levels for example:

folder_01 10 GB
subfolder_02 10 GB
subfolder_03 10 GB
folder_02 10 GB
subfolder_02 10 GB
subfolder_03 10 GB
folder_03 10 GB
subfolder_02 10 GB
subfolder_03 10 GB


Does anyone have any idea on how to do this type of command and have it put into a .TXT file?

Hammer & Screwdriver to direct to a file
example:

du -k >sample.txt

the > redirects output
and you can type any filename and/or use folders
(you could >/tmp/mystuff/sample.txt for instance)
