Unix: Print folder and file structure to a file?

[MIDIman]

A bit of a newbie here with Unix.

Is there a command in Unix to print to a text file a specific folder structure (including subdirectories), preferably with all of the files listed within each folder and their size as well?

Thanks in advance.

man du

Yep du will print the size of directories and their files if you use the right command line arguements. And then you use the > to pipe it into a file of your choosing.

For learning around the command line there are a couple guides that are usefull, one is the introduction to linux: hands on linux guide, and the other is the bash scripting guide for beginners. A bit dry and targetted more for the administrator types, but usefull, I beleive. They are from guide section from tldp.org.

Man files are usefull..
