Hi,
I have following issue.
I have a VPS with Linux OS and I'd like to check size of the folders as well as remaining space on my server.
How can I do that via Terminal?
I would appreciate any input.
OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)
df command, check the man page for more info
Hi Johnl927,
Thanks for your reply.
However I don't think I understand.

login into your VPS server via terminal and cd into the root of your hosted space. Then use the df -h command to see the listing
for i.e.
df -h /volumes/volume_1
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on
//john@ds00/volume_1 457Gi 12Gi 445Gi 3% 0 18446744073709551615 0% /Volumes/volume_1
for you it would be something like:
df -h user@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/share (ip address)
If your not familiar with the terminal then stay away from it for the time being until you learn it. You can always mount the VPS server onto your desktop and command + i (get info) for more info and get available space for it
Thanks for you help.
Can you plesae tell me one more thing: "How to mount VPS on the desktop?"
Thanks
By using the mount command in terminal (check the manual page if you need help), man mount = help on that topic or by using command + K (connect to server) via FTP and it will mount like any other share
