paying attention to detail, spaces and all are key to not having errors.
the answer is # cd “space”…/jan or cd …/jan make sure to use the space bar after cd and you shouldn’t have any problems.
use cd …/jan
please don’t forget to place the gap between cd and " …" this two dots. Then press pwd and enter
I don’t know why it’s showing three dots. I’m sorry. I wrote two dots.
The forums use Markdown, and it automatically interprets .. as you wanting to use ..., so in the future, you can surround these (and any code) using backticks ( ` ).

I’ve tried cd…/jan and cd…/jan it’s not working. What is the solution?
I meant I tried cd…/jan and cd…/jan
If you’re posting code to the forum, please see- How do I format code in my posts? as your commands are being altered, if they were entered as code blocks instead then others will be able to see what you actually typed out.
It’s mentioned above but there needs to be a space between the cd command and the path you pass, e.g.
cd ../jan
This one was tricky at first but using the file tree structure included with lesson 1 will serve as a map.
Please help. Im having trouble navigating back to the blog path
Welcome to the forums!
If you can use cd .. to navigate up one directory, and blog is three directories up from your current directory, what command should you use to solve your problem?
Open for answer if you can't figure it out.
There are two ways to do this, either by repeating cd .. for as many times as needed or by chaining directories together in one filepath.
cd ..
cd ..
cd ..
OR
cd ../../..

Refrain from spamming here, let’s keep the forums neat and tidy for everyone.
Remember that if we want to navigate up a directory we can use the following command. We only use directory names if they are subdirectories of our current working directory.
cd ..

I struggled for an hour on this but finally found the answer. simply type in exactly like this “cd …/2015” with no quotes obviously. Happy coding everyone

This bug is still in place:
$ cd …/2015/jan
bash: cd: …/2015/jan: No such file or directory
