File system is a functional part of the operating system that provides operations on files. The file system allows you to work with files and directories (directories) regardless of their content, size, type, etc.

The file system defines the general structure for naming, storing, and organizing files in the operating system.

Hierarchical file system :

Various operations can be performed on files:


  • Copying (a copy of a file is placed from one directory to another)

  • Move (the file itself is moved to another directory)

  • Deletion (the file entry is removed from the directory)

  • Renaming (changing the file name), etc.
Rules for creating a file name:

  1. You cannot use the following characters, which are reserved for special functions: ? . , ; := + * / \ " | SPACE

  2. The following characters cannot be used in long names: ? :*/\">
File archiving rules:

PRACTICE 14

Topic: A file is a unit of information storage on a computer. File attributes and size. Accounting for the volume of files during their storage, transfer.

Target:

Means of education: PC, browser, Internet.

Explanations for the execution of the work:

Theoretical material: All programs and data are stored in the computer's long-term memory as files.

File - A completed named dataset, such as a program, a dataset used by a program, or a user-created document. A file is the basic unit of storage that allows a computer to distinguish one set of data from another. The user can retrieve the data collected in the file, modify it, delete it, save it, or send it to an output device such as a printer or email program.

Folder- Container for programs and files in graphical interfaces user, displayed on the screen with an icon that looks like a clerical folder. Folders are used to organize programs and documents on a disk and can contain both files and other folders.

Folders are used by Windows to create a system for storing files on a computer, similar to how cardboard folders are used to organize data in a filing cabinet.

Folders can contain files various types- documents, music videos, images, videos, programs, and more. You can create new folders, copy or move files to them from other places - from other folders, from other computers, or from the Internet. You can create subfolders within folders.

For example, if you use the My Documents folder to create and store files, you can create a new folder in it to contain these files. If the new folder needs to be moved to another location, it can be easily moved along with all its contents by selecting it and dragging it to the new location with the mouse.

The file name consists of two parts separated by a dot: File name and extension , which defines its type.

The actual file name is given by the user, and the file type is usually set automatically by the program when it is created.

On various operating systems, there are various formats file names.

The actual file name is no more than 8 letters , extension - 3 .

File types and extensions.


Single-level file system

Tiered file system

Information unit:

1 byte= 8 bits 1 KB (1 Kilobyte) = 210 bytes = 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2 bytes =
= 1024 bytes (approximately 1 thousand bytes - 103 bytes)

1 MB(1 megabyte) = 220 bytes = 1024 kilobytes (approximately 1 million bytes - 106 bytes)

1 GB(1 gigabyte) = 230 bytes = 1024 megabytes (approximately 1 billion bytes - 109 bytes)

1 TB(1 Terabyte) = 240 bytes = 1024 gigabytes (approximately 1012 bytes). A terabyte is sometimes called a ton.

1 Pb(1 petabyte) = 250 bytes = 1024 terabytes (approximately 1015 bytes).

1 exabyte= 260 bytes = 1024 petabytes (approximately 1018 bytes).

1 zettabyte= 270 bytes = 1024 exabytes (approximately 1021 bytes).

1 Yottabyte= 280 bytes = 1024 zettabytes (approximately 1024 bytes).

File Attributes are set for each file and tell the system what operations can be performed on files. There are four attributes:
- read only (R);
- archival (A);
- hidden (H);
- system (S).

Read-Only File Attribute
This attribute specifies that the file cannot be modified. All attempts to modify, delete, or rename a read-only file will fail.

File attribute "Hidden"
A file with this attribute is not displayed in the folder. The attribute can also be applied to entire folders. It must be remembered that the system provides the ability to display hidden files, for this it is enough in the Explorer menu Tools - Folder Options - View tab - Show hidden files and folders.

File attribute "Archived"
Almost all files have this attribute, enabling/disabling it makes almost no sense. The attribute was used by programs Reserve copy to detect changes in a file.

File attribute "System"
This attribute is set for files required by the operating system to stable operation. In effect, it makes the file hidden and read-only. It is impossible to set a system attribute for a file on your own.

To change the attributes of a file, you need to open its properties window and enable the appropriate options.

In order for the file attributes to be displayed in the Explorer window, you need to switch to the Tables mode (View - Table), and then right-click on the title bar and select Attributes. After that, a new column appears in the table, in which the attributes are displayed with the letters R, A, H, S.

Work order:

Exercise 1. Outline the theoretical material in a notebook.

Task 2. Fill the table:

Task 3. Create a table:

Table 1.

1) Run text editor Notepad, create a document by typing the text (font size #14):

Manager(from English manage "manage") or manager- head, manager, chief, director.

The main task of managers is management, including planning, organization, motivation and control. Depending on the size and number of control objects, there are levels of control, and, consequently, managers.

Types of managers.

It is generally accepted to single out lower-level managers (in world practice - operational managers), middle-level managers (line managers) and top managers:

· lower level managers - these are junior bosses who are directly above the workers and other workers (not managers). These include foremen, heads of departments in stores, heads of departments, sales managers who have sales representatives (agents) under their supervision, etc. In general, most of the leaders are lower-level managers. Most people start their managerial career in this capacity. Junior managers can have any level of education.

· Managers middle management are the bosses of the lower-level managers. Depending on the size of the organization, there may be several levels of such managers. Middle managers are the head of the shop, the director of the branch, the dean of the faculty, the head of the sales department, etc. Most often, such managers have diplomas of graduation from higher educational institutions and some experience in practical work.

· Managers top management - the smallest group of managers. Even in the largest organizations, there are only a few people. Typical positions here would be the general director of the plant, the director of the store, the rector of the university, the chairman of the board of directors. This level of decision making requires a college degree, and sometimes more than one.

2) Save the document in your folder by selecting the folder called Practice14, save as Notepad_LastName.

Determine its volume by clicking the right mouse button and selecting "Properties" from the menu. Enter the data in table 1.

· on the basis of 11 cells - 2 years 10 months.

Region professional activity alumni:

organization of service in public catering organizations different types and classes.

The main activities of the manager:

· Organize catering in catering establishments

· Manage catering staff in serving customers

· Organize and supervise the preparation of catering organizations for the reception of visitors

· Identify needs for catering services and products

· Form and meet the demand for catering services

· To control the quality of products and services of public catering

Run the WinRar archiver, add the file to the archive, determine its volume and draw a conclusion about the degree of file compression. Enter the data in table 1.

The unit of data storage is a variable length object called a file. A file is a sequence of arbitrary number of bytes with a unique name of its own. Data of the same type is stored in a separate file. The data type determines the file type.

There is no size limit in the file definition, you can imagine a file having 0 bytes (an empty file) and a file having any number of bytes.

Particular attention is paid to the name, It carries address data, without which the data will not become information due to the lack of an access method to them. The file name can store information about the type of data contained in it. For automatic means working with data, this is important, because by the name of the file they can automatically determine an adequate method for extracting information.

File archiving

Create in your working folder(folder with your group) the following folders: a folder with your last name, in it the Archives folder. Run WinRar program. Open the folder on the teacher's computer source material for practical work Practicum. This folder contains three types of files.doc, .bmp, .exe. Answer the question in writing in your notebook, what type of documents do the above extensions have?

slide 16

Slide 17

Copy the files from the Practice folder to the Archives folder. Zip the graphic file and compare the sizes of both files. To do this, follow these steps: Click right button mouse select a file of type .bmp Click on the Add to archive… button, a dialog box will appear specifying the archiving parameters. By default, the archive file has the name of the original file. If you need to specify a different name for the archive, then enter it in the name input field. Select an archive file format, such as RAR. Leave the rest of the parameters unchanged. Click the Ok button.

Slide 18

Compare the sizes of the original file and archive. Enter the data in the table 1. Zip the .doc file and compare the sizes of both files. Enter the data in the table 1. Zip the .exe file and compare the sizes of both files. Enter the data in table 1. Remove source files. Zip the files in ZIP archive format. Fill in the table 1. with the received data. Attention!!! It is possible to pack files with their subsequent deletion, if such a method was chosen.

Slide 19

Slide 20

When creating a new archive, you need to set the archiving parameters. First of all, you need to specify the name of the archive file and the location to save it on disk. Next, you need to select the RAR or ZIP archive format (the ZIP format is more widely used, and the RAR method provides more options and stronger compression). Both formats support six archiving methods: Uncompressed, Fast, Fast, Normal, Good, and Maximum. Maximum method provides the highest compression ratio, but at the lowest speed. On the contrary, High-speed compresses badly, but very quickly. The No Compression method simply puts the files in the archive without compressing them. If you are creating an archive for transfer via computer networks or for long-term storage, it makes sense to choose the Maximum method to get the best compression. If you create a daily backup data, it is usually best to use the Normal method. The next archiving parameter is the size of the dictionary. It can take values ​​of 64, 128, 256, 512 and 1024 KB. The larger the dictionary size, the better, but the compression is slower.

slide 21

WinRAR allows you to create multi-volume archives, that is, archives consisting of several parts. Typically, volumes are used to store a large archive on multiple floppy disks or other removable media. The first volume of the archive has the usual gag extension, and the extensions of subsequent volumes are numbered r00, r01, r02, and so on. The archive can be continuous (allows you to achieve the maximum degree of compression) and self-extracting (SFX, from the English. Self-eXtracting). To unzip such an archive, you do not need special program, it is enough to run the archive file for execution, since it is an executable file and has the .exe extension. For archiving audio and image files, an additional special media compression method can be used, which can achieve 30% more high degree compression than normal compression.

slide 22

Unzip files.Archive files with password protection

Find the file or group of files you want to zip with password protection. Usually, the archiver installed on the computer is available through context menu. Select the found files and call the WinRar archiver through the context menu. Let's set the archiving parameters. On the Advanced tab, set a password. You can select the Show password when typing option Unzip files. You can perform this operation by double-clicking on the archive file, or through the context menu - Extract files. When unzipping a password-protected archive, you will be required to enter a password.

Practical work

File as a unit of information storage on a computer

Target: acquire basic skills in working with files.

All programs and data are stored in the computer's non-volatile (external) memory as files.

File - this is a certain amount of information (program or data) that has a name and is stored in long-term (external) memory.

The file name consists of two parts separated by a dot: the actual file name and an extension that defines its type (program, data, etc.). The actual file name is given by the user, and the file type is usually set automatically by the program when it is created.

File system. On each storage medium (flexible, rigid or laser disc) can store a large number of files. The order in which files are stored on a disk is determined by the installed file system.

File system is a system for storing files and organizing directories.
For disks with a small number of files (up to several dozen), it is convenient to use a single-level file system, when the directory (disc table of contents) is a linear sequence of file names. To find a file on a disk, it is enough to specify only the file name.

If hundreds and thousands of files are stored on the disk, then for the convenience of searching, the files are organized into a multi-level hierarchical file system, which has a "tree" structure (looks like an inverted tree).

The path to the file. In order to find a file in a hierarchical file structure, you must specify the path to the file. The path to the file includes the logical name of the drive written through the separator "\" and the sequence of names of nested directories, the last of which contains the given desired file. Video

P full file name.
The path to the file together with the file name is called the full file name.
Full file name example:
C:\Abstracts\Physics\Optical phenomena.doc
C:\Abstracts\Informatics\Internet.doc
C:\Abstracts\Informatics\Computer viruses.doc
C:\Pictures\Sunset.jpg
