Let’s discuss about how to create folders, how to move from one folder to another, how to move, how to copy, etc.

Commands:

1. cd:

• “cd” stands for change directory.
• It it used to move from one folder to another folder.

Usage:

Open the command prompt and type “cd foldername” this will change your current working directory.

For Example: Typing “cd videos” would move you into the videos directory if it exist in your current location.

- When you try to change directory to a folder that is not present in your system, then it shows error “cannot find the specified path”. This is because we cannot open a folder which is not present in our system even in file explorer.

- When you want to change directory to the parent folder, we have to use the command “cd ..”.
