Looping through all files in a directory [duplicate]

by

For files and directories, not recursive

for filename in *; do echo "put ${filename}"; done

For files only (excludes folders), not recursive

for file in *; do 
    if [ -f "$file" ]; then 
        echo "$file" 
    fi 
done

For a recursive solution, see Bennet Yee’s answer.
