Creating a Directory for Networking & Opening Port 80 in Terminal

In an effort to continue my development in the world of Linux, I wanted to create a directory with a file that holds text, while making it accessible over the internet served up on a web server.

The steps I took were:
- Create a directory for networking (called “networking1”)
- Change into the new directory, and add text.
- Concatenate the file to ensure the text is in the networking directory.
- Open Port 80 (HTTP) on the server and confirm that it is running.

The successful steps, completed in my Terminal, are below.
