Im stuck on step 4 of cp 1

im stuck because it says that i have to ‘Navigate up one directory from drama/historical/ to drama/.’ but i cant do that!! :frowning:

Have you tried

pwd  ==>output will be=> drama/historical
cd ..
pwd ==output => drama
ls ==>output => the files in the drama-directory

It might happen that you lose the $-prompt…
if that happens, it is the indication that the emulated-environment is blocked…
you will then have to leave the environment
and start with a fresh-working-place

1)When we copy cleopatra.txt we copy all filles in directory, why?
2)when we copy i wrote drama/historical/, when i enter wrote pws result was drama/historical (all ok);
but when i write cd drama result was : No much file or directory.Why?
3) I tried wrote cd result was : /home/ccuser afret i wrote cd drama/ but i has got the same error that was in 2). Why?

Thanks You. Very much.

what is the mean of Change directories into historical/.

List all files and directories in the working directory. You should see a new copy of ray.txt and notorious.txt in this directory.**

@devrockstar53243,
As you want to do the command line course
you will have to learn the basic’s of unix/or/one-of-its-derivate’s

Thanks that really helped me.

Use “cd historical/” then ls -l. You should see it.
