Is there an equivalent to tree on CentOS?

You need to use command called tree. It will list contents of directories in a tree-like format. It is a recursive directory listing program that produces a depth indented listing of files. When directory arguments are given, tree lists all the files and/or directories found in the given directories each in turn.
The directory is structured in the form of a tree. It also has a root directory, and every file in the system has a unique path. A directory within a tree-structured directory may contain files or subdirectories. Special system calls are used to create or remove directories.
Creation of an entire directory tree can be accomplished with the mkdir command, which (as its name suggests) is used to make directories. The -p option tells mkdir to create not only a subdirectory but also any of its parent directories that do not already exist.
A directory tree on a Linux system is a way to see all of the directory and sub directories in a provided filesystem path.
If tree is not installed on your Centos system (I typically recommend server setups to use minimal install disk anyhow) you should type the following at your command line:
# yum install tree -y If this doesn't install it's because you don't have the proper repository. I would use the Dag Wieers repository:
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#B
After that you can do your install:
# yum install tree -y Now you're ready to roll. Always read the man page: http://linux.die.net/man/1/tree
So quite simply the following will return a tree:
# tree Alternatively you can output this to a text file. There's a ton of options too.. Again, read your man page if you're looking for something other than default output.
# tree > recursive_directory_list.txt (^^ in a text file for later review ^^)
