How do I change directories in the terminal window of Ubuntu?
By Administrator on Sep 22, 2010 in Ubuntu Support
I have a very .bin file saved on my desktop computer of Ubuntu and I need to establish it therefore i can run it, the directions say to go about the list the saved file is in using the terminal window….this is what my terminal window says now…
thomas@thomas-desktop:~$
What command do I enter to move it about the desktop computer solely where my saved bin file is located?
Thanks

If you type ls (that is lower case LS) at the prompt it should show you the list of visible files in your home directory. Double check to see that the word Desktop has a capital D as all files in ubuntu (all *nix’s) are case sensitive. The command that you need to type should be:
cd Desktop
Typing ls again will show you the files on your desktop in the terminal.
I am fairly new to Ubuntu myself and one thing that I have found is google is your friend.
