I am trying to go to the drama directory (cd …/drama/) but it doesn’t exist. When I list the directories it replies that only biopic and historical are in there, but hey, cd …/biopic/ evidentially doesn’t exist even though it just told me it did. Are my commands wrong? cd …drama/ and cd …historical/ cd …biopic/ ?
So I copied cleopatra.txt to the historical/ directory. But when I then navigate to the historical directory and list all the files, it won’t recognize that the step is complete. Suggestions?
Hi Codeacademy,
I am facing the same issue.
I copied cleopatra.txt to the historical/ directory. But when I then navigate to the historical directory and list all the files, it won’t recognize that the step is complete.
If that’s the list its giving you then you are already in the correct directory. Don’t forget your pwd command to check your current working directory.
Hi, i’m stuck here to, i tried to do the slsvm’s solution but i have a small red button on the top right telling me “could not restore workspace” somebody already have that problem? It will help me a lot cause i’m stuck here for to long …
I did this on my own computer, cp filename1.txt filename2.txt and it worked great (unfortunately…). The data on file 1 got copied to file 2 and overwrote everything on file 2. I’m afraid I just deleted very important data. I have searched for the original file 2 but cant find it I tried to restore to previous version but it wants me to tell where I have the backup which I obviously dont have (but undoubtedly would have had if I knew that this command would not just copy from A to B and keep what was already there, but actually overwrite B). I hope there is some way I can revert this. Can somebody please help me or am I screwed?
My first post here! A pleasure.

So many bugs! And I can’t even see where I went wrong by pressing get solution. Why am I giving CC my money?! CC hit me up if you need someone to sort out all these issues so we can use the resources…
