PowerShell - Parameter Question for a Newbie

$

0

Hello,

 

I am going trough an online course which is teaching me how to handle files with PHP. The chapter I am in right now has introduced Windows Powershell as a way to list file permission settings.

 

The instructor is using the command 'ls -a' which displays the files and the permission settings. It works well for him. However, when I try it myself I get this error and do not understand why: Get-ChildItem : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter 'a'.

I use windows XP and  Powershell 1.0.

I searched high and low for an hour on Google about that but cannot find anything useful.

Can someone concisely explain that to me or what I am doing wrong? I would like to go over that hump in order to resume with the chapter.

 

The sooner the better,

 

Thanks a bunch in advance.
