I think u guys dont get me, wat i mean to say is that, why cant we just make a folder named con (using normal method, right click and make new folder and name it)???

 

[kalpik]

Ok, actually if you really need information about why its not allowed, here goes... Actually, there used to be some reserved names in DOS, because they were commands or device names in DOS. (CON refers to console, or the keyboard). Some other reserved names: CON, AUX, COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4, LPT1, LPT2, LPT3, PRN, NUL.

And if u wanna know about how the command i gave overcomes this problem, check here: *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Naming_Convention

con stands for console i.e. display. It is an existing device in Windows. That is why you can't make it with normal methods.

Try this command in command prompt
copy con myfile.txt

Type a few things and hit F6 or Ctrl+Z. All that you typed will become the content of myfile.txt. This is the usual copy command whose syntax is

copy file1 file2

Se here, file1 is what is on console i.e. con

From Applications/Utilities/Terminal "mkdir con"

Otherwise, right click.. click on "new folder" and name it

 

[kalpik]
