Introduction
In the digital era, file management is an essential skill, both for your personal life and
the workplace. Good file and directory management will confer a willingness to put
things away in their homes, can quickly retrieve stored data easily maintained format =
movie keeping. This project aims at using Python to build directory management
features specifically designed for Ubuntu operating system bundles. With strong
libraries provided by Python and the robust environment Ubuntu itself affords, this
project will make it easy to manage and automate a variety of typical file operations.
2.Objective
The main objects of this project are as follows: using Python, create a file management
system that is friendly to users placed on Ubuntu.
● Simplify the task of looking after files, directories and what happens next.
● To provide a command-line interface for common file operations
● Ensure that file management task is both reliable and efficient.
3.Methodology
➔ Setup:
1. Install a virtual machine (VirtualBox or VMware).
2. Install Ubuntu operating system on the virtual machine.
3. Install Python 3 on Ubuntu.
➔ Development:
1. Design a menu-driven interface for user interaction.
2. Implement Python functions for file operations (create, delete, copy, move,
rename, search, directory management) using os and shutil libraries.
3. Integrate functions into the menu system.
➔ Testing:
1. Test each function individually for correctness.
2. Test the entire menu system with user simulations and validate results.
3. Fix any bugs or issues found during testing.
4. Description
The file management system provides a menu-driven interface that offers the following
functionalities:
● Create a File: Allows users to specify a file path and create a new file at that
location.
● Delete a File: Deletes a specified file from the system.
● Copy a File: Copies a file from a source location to a destination location.
● Move a File: Moves a file from a source location to a destination location.
● Rename a File: Renames a specified file to a new name.
● Create a Directory: Creates a new directory at a specified path.
● Delete a Directory: Deletes a specified directory and its contents.
● List Files in a Directory: Lists all files and subdirectories within a specified
directory.
● Search for a File in a Directory: Searches for a specified file within a
directory and its subdirectories.
● Exit: Ends the program.
