4.14) Exercise 5: Solution

From the home directory type:

cd research
cd documents
pwd

Or

cd research/documents
pwd

You should see something like:

/nfs/see/username/research/documents

This is the full path to the directory you are in. You can see the ‘/’ separates directories and the directory above is ‘research’ and the directory above that is the home directory and will be your username. Above that, you don’t need to be concerned with as those are system administrator directories where Unix is stored.
