    [SOLVED] Trouble with common terminal commands

    I was trying to navigate by terminal and tried to
    change directories by typing-
    cd ./documents
    and terminal states no such directory.
    I can only navigate folders that I created with mkdir.
    Do I need to set permissions somewhere?
    Yes documents does exist in my home folder and I tried to open others with no luck.

    Thanks.

    please forgive the way I wrote the url, as u may know, a member must post over 10,000 posts before they are allowed to type a url in the forum.

    If there is a folder called "documents" in your home folder you would type:

    Code:
    cd ~/documents
    If there is a folder called "Documents" in your home folder you would type:

    Code:
    cd ~/Documents
    Hope this helps!
