Lets get the file back. Type a cp command to copy the passwd file from the /etc directory to your current location. To indicate your current location, use a . as in cp path_to_filename . where path_to_filename is the path to the file. You should still be in the temp directory. 32.) What command did you enter?

Move up one level in the file space. Lets try to delete the temp directory. Type rmdir temp. What happened? Why? To delete a non-empty directory, first delete the files from within it. Or, use the rm command with the option r, changing the delete into a recursive delete. Type rm r temp and see what happens. 33.) What do you think recursive delete means? You might choose to research this question. At this point, you can close your terminal window and shut down your Linux VM.
