Hi bassam

What you mean by hidden file and directory? is it the files and directories which are not visible in the ls -lr command?

You can make a hidden file by the command
touch .file (Provided you have the permission to create files in that directory)

You can make hidden directory by the command by
mkdir .dir1 (Provided you have the permission to create directory within in that directory)


Both these file and directory can be seen by ls -la command and not by ls -lrt command
