IPFS Files

IPFS Files API allows to manipulate unixfs objects (current IPFS files and directories format) in manner similar to normal Unix commands.

# How does it work?

IPFS Files API introduces virtual root directory.

You can check it content with:

ipfs files ls /.

You can copy files and directories that were added to IFPS using:

ipfs files cp /ipfs/Qmc4xcnns2rA4U /greetings.

Then you can view content of that directory using ipfs files ls /greetings and read file in it using

ipfs files read /greetings/greetings.md.

You can then modify the structure with different commands:

ipfs files mv /greetings/greetings.md /greetings/greetings.txt

Note that will change hash of the /greetings directory. You can check new hash using:

ipfs files stat --hash /greetings.
