Need to find total size of all files in a directory.

[maxcrook]

I have used the df -k . command to find out the size of the file system i am currently in. However I need to know how to find out the size of all the files in my current directory and whether it is in k or blocks etc.

There are 354 files in the directory mentioned

ls -la | pg will give you a page by page listing of all the files in the directory you are in, with sizes in bytes. Perhaps I've misunderstood - do you want the size of each individual file, or the total of all the files?

 

[maxcrook]

Total of all files please - but that is also very handy for the next question i had!

max.

cd into the directory in question

du -sk will give you what you require.

Use the du command. Only problem is that it will recurse through subdirectories.

du -sk * will do the job for the files and the directories from the curent path.
