 # Q7S Utilities
 
+## Creating files with cat and echo
+
+The only folder which can be written in the root filesystem is the `tmp` folder.
+
+You can create a simple file with initial content with `echo`
+
+```sh
+echo "Hallo Welt" > /tmp/test.txt
+cat /tmp/test.txt
+```
+
+For more useful combinations, see this [link](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-cat-command-in-linux-how-to-create-a-text-file-with-cat-or-touch/).
