    Windows Command Prompt Cheatsheet - Command line interface (as opposed to a GUI - graphical user interface) - Used to execute programs - Commands are small programs that do something useful - There are many commands already included with Windows, but we will use a few. - A filepath is where you are in the filesystem • C: is the C drive • C:\user\Documents is the Documents folder • C:\user\Documents\hello.c is a file in the Documents folder Command What it Does Usage dir Displays a list of a folder’s files dir (shows current folder) and subfolders dir myfolder cd Displays the name of the current cd filepath chdir directory or changes the current chdir filepath folder. cd .. (goes one directory up) md Creates a folder (directory) md folder-name mkdir mkdir folder-name rm Deletes a folder (directory) rm folder-name rmdir rmdir folder-name rm /s folder-name rmdir /s folder-name Note: if the folder isn’t empty, you must add the /s. copy Copies a file from one location to copy filepath-from filepath-to another move Moves file from one folder to move folder1\file.txt folder2\ another ren Changes the name of a file ren file1 file2 rename del Deletes one or more files del filename exit Exits batch script or current exit command control echo Used to display a message or to echo message turn off/on messages in batch scripts type Displays contents of a text file type myfile.txt fc Compares two files and displays fc file1 file2 the difference between them cls Clears the screen cls help Provides more details about help (lists all commands) DOS/Command Prompt help command commands Source: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754340.aspx.

  • Command Line Interface Specification Windows
    Command Line Interface Specification Windows Online Backup Client version 4.3.x 1. Introduction The CloudBackup Command Line Interface (CLI for short) makes it possible to access the CloudBackup Client software from the command line. The following actions are implemented: backup, delete, dir en restore. These actions are described in more detail in the following paragraphs. For all actions applies that a successful action is indicated by means of exit code 0. In all other cases a status code of 1 will be used. 2. Configuration The command line client needs a configuration file. This configuration file may have the same layout as the configuration file for the full CloudBackup client. This configuration file is expected to reside in one of the following folders: CLI installation location or the settings folder in the CLI installation location. The name of the configuration file must be: Settings.xml. Example: if the CLI is installed in C:\Windows\MyBackup\, the configuration file may be in one of the two following locations: C:\Windows\MyBackup\Settings.xml C:\Windows\MyBackup\Settings\Settings.xml If both are present, the first form has precedence. Also the customer needs to edit the CloudBackup.Console.exe.config file which is located in the program file directory and edit the following line: 1 <add key="SettingsFolder" value="%settingsfilelocation%" /> After making these changes the customer can use the CLI instruction to make backups and restore data. 2.1 Configuration Error Handling If an error is found in the configuration file, the command line client will issue an error message describing which value or setting or option is causing the error and terminate with an exit value of 1.

  • Dig, a DNS Query Tool for Windows and Replacement for Nslookup 2008-04-15 15:29
    dig, a DNS query tool for Windows and replacement for nslookup 2008-04-15 15:29 Disclaimer dig (dig for Windows ) (dig is a powerful tool to investigate [digging into] the DNS system) Source of the binary is from ftp.isc.org Manual Page of dig, in the cryptic Unix style, for reference only. (1) Download: Windows 2000 or Windows XP or Windows Vista ( dig version 9.3.2) Create a folder c:\dig Download this dig-files.zip and save it to c:\dig Use winzip or equivalent to extract the files in dig-files.zip to c:\dig Note: If msvcr70.dll already exists in %systemroot%\system32\ , then you can delete c:\dig\msvcr70.dll Note: Included in dig-files.zip is a command line whois, version 4.7.11: The canonical site of the whois source code is http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/whois/ The whois.exe file inside dig-files.zip is compiled using cygwin c++ compiler. (2) Do a file integrity check (why ? Because some virus checkers destroy dll files) Click Start.. Run ... type CMD (a black screen pops up) cd c:\dig sha1 * You should see some SHA1 hashes (in here, SHA1 hash is used as an integrity check, similar to checksums). Compare your hashes with the following table. SHA1 v1.0 [GPLed] by Stephan T.

    1. Run nslookup to obtain the IP address of a Web server in Europe. frigate:Desktop drb$ nslookup home.web.cern.ch Server: 130.215.32.18 Address: 130.215.32.18#53 Non-authoritative answer: home.web.cern.ch canonical name = drupalprod.cern.ch. Name: drupalprod.cern.ch Address: 137.138.76.28 Note that the #53 denotes the DNS service is running on port 53. 2. Run nslookup to determine the authoritative DNS servers for a university in Asia. frigate:Desktop drb$ nslookup -type=NS tsinghua.edu.cn Server: 130.215.32.18 Address: 130.215.32.18#53 Non-authoritative answer: tsinghua.edu.cn nameserver = dns2.tsinghua.edu.cn. tsinghua.edu.cn nameserver = dns.tsinghua.edu.cn. tsinghua.edu.cn nameserver = dns2.edu.cn. tsinghua.edu.cn nameserver = ns2.cuhk.edu.hk.

The response we got back was from a cached record. To confirm the authoritative DNS servers, we perform the same DNS query of one of the servers that can provide authoritative answers. frigate:Desktop drb$ nslookup -type=NS tsinghua.edu.cn dns.tsinghua.edu.cn Server: dns.tsinghua.edu.cn Address: 166.111.8.30#53 tsinghua.edu.cn nameserver = dns2.edu.cn.

  • Command-Line IP Utilities This Document Lists Windows Command-Line Utilities That You Can Use to Obtain TCP/IP Configuration Information and Test IP Connectivity
    Guide to TCP/IP: IPv6 and IPv4, 5th Edition, ISBN 978-13059-4695-8 Command-Line IP Utilities This document lists Windows command-line utilities that you can use to obtain TCP/IP configuration information and test IP connectivity. Command parameters and uses are listed for the following utilities in Tables 1 through 9: ■ Arp ■ Ipconfig ■ Netsh ■ Netstat ■ Pathping ■ Ping ■ Route ■ Tracert ARP The Arp utility reads and manipulates local ARP tables (data link address-to-IP address tables). Syntax arp -s inet_addr eth_addr [if_addr] arp -d inet_addr [if_addr] arp -a [inet_address] [-N if_addr] [-v] Table 1 ARP command parameters and uses Parameter Description -a or -g Displays current entries in the ARP cache. If inet_addr is specified, the IP and data link address of the specified computer appear. If more than one network interface uses ARP, entries for each ARP table appear. inet_addr Specifies an Internet address. -N if_addr Displays the ARP entries for the network interface specified by if_addr. -v Displays the ARP entries in verbose mode. -d Deletes the host specified by inet_addr. -s Adds the host and associates the Internet address inet_addr with the data link address eth_addr. The physical address is given as six hexadecimal bytes separated by hyphens. The entry is permanent. eth_addr Specifies physical address. if_addr If present, this specifies the Internet address of the interface whose address translation table should be modified. If not present, the first applicable interface will be used. Pyles, Carrell, and Tittel 1 Guide to TCP/IP: IPv6 and IPv4, 5th Edition, ISBN 978-13059-4695-8 IPCONFIG The Ipconfig utility displays and modifies IP address configuration information.
