4.12) Moving Around From The Documents Directory (cont'd)

You can do it also by specifying the full path. Say your home directory is ‘/nfs/see/username/’ then you would do it the following way:

cp /nfs/see/username/data1 /nfs/see/username/research/documents

You can obtain the full path to the directory you are currently in by typing pwd and hitting return. If you are in the home directory then type pwd and it will return something like:

pwd

/nfs/see/username

The path varies depending on what computer you are on and what username you are and where you are in your directories. You can type pwd from anywhere.
