FileManager

The File Manager consists of the following commands:

  • list: a folder
  • info: on a file
  • mkdir: make a new folder
  • rename: a file
  • copy, move, delete: files
  • quit: the file manager shell

The list command:

This command takes 1 parameter: a string indicating the file path. It then checks two conditions. The first condition is whether the path exists and the second condition is whether the path is a directory. If both conditions are true and the folder is not empty, then the method iterates through the strings or file names and prints them to the console.

  • The list command gives a user a clear view of what contents are contained within a path in addition to whether the path exists.

The info command:

This command takes one parameter: a string indicating the file or folder's path. It returns the name, relative path, absolute path, size, and time of last modification for a file or a folder.

  • The info command gives a user more ample information with which accurately to search, organize, and identify files/folders.

The mkdir command:

This command takes one parameter: a string indicating the desired name of the new folder and creates it under the following conditions:

  1. The intended name does not contain any illegal characters.
  2. The intended name is not already in use by an existing file or folder.
  3. If for some other reason the method cannot create a folder it catches the exception.
  • The info command gives a user the ability to create new folders/files with built-in safeguards.

The rename command:

The rename command allows you to modify the name of an existing file/folder. If no such file/folder exists the method notifies the user.

  • There are several reasons a user may want to rename a folder/file, whatever they may be the rename method allows one to do so with ease.

The copy/move/delete command:

The copy command creates a duplicate of a file in a requested path. The move command transfers a file from one path to another. While the delete command removes a file from a specified path.

  • The copy command is recommended if you want to create a duplicate file in a new path while the move command is recommended if you want to move the original file. The delete command allows a user to remove a file they no longer need nor want from a specified path.

The quit command:

Allows the user to terminate their session with the file manager.
