  • 0

A good way to check your disk usage for folders on your Linux server is via shell.

  1. Download Putty.exe for this location http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
  2. Open the program, in the 'Host Name' type in your IP or Domain name and click 'Open'

In the terminal, you will be asked to input your username and password, this will usually be your default FTP credentials (Shared) or your root credentials (VPS or Dedicated)Once logged in, type the following command: du –h

This will list the folder and sub folder size as well as the total size of your root directory structure.
