Hi, ok this one is real easy. If you want to get the size of a folder and
all subfolders type:

du foldername

If you want just the total size of a folder such as /usr type:

du -s /usr

To see specific info on a file or a group of files let us say zip files
type:

ls -l *.zip

You will get a list of zip files, permitions, and sizes.
