List of All Folders and Sub-folders

As well as find listed in other answers, better shells allow both recurvsive globs and filtering of glob matches, so in zsh for example...

ls -lad **/*(/)

...lists all directories while keeping all the "-l" details that you want, which you'd otherwise need to recreate using something like...

find . -type d -exec ls -ld {} \;

(not quite as easy as the other answers suggest)

The benefit of find is that it's more independent of the shell - more portable, even for system() calls from within a C/C++ program etc..


find . -type d > list.txt

Will list all directories and subdirectories under the current path. If you want to list all of the directories under a path other than the current one, change the . to that other path.

If you want to exclude certain directories, you can filter them out with a negative condition:

find . -type d ! -name "~snapshot" > list.txt

You can use find

find . -type d > output.txt

or tree

tree -d > output.txt

tree, If not installed on your system.

If you are using ubuntu

sudo apt-get install tree

If you are using mac os.

brew install tree
