I've starting to learn how to use cmd and I'm trying to cd to the desktop but it's not working.
C:\Users\User>cd Desktop
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:\Users\User>
When I try to cd to Documents it works fine.
I were expecting to change directory

I have my xcode Project saved as "GAT App" in a folder on my Desktop. When I try to access the folder using the terminal, this is the error I get:
Austins-MacBook-Air:~ austin$ cd Desktop
Austins-MacBook-Air:Desktop austin$ cd GAT App
-bash: cd: GAT: No such file or directory
any idea how to fix this?
By typing
cd GAT\ App
The \ tells the system that the next whitespace does not separate two arguments but is just one string.
When I simply try to cd into a directory on my desktop (cd command + drag folder to terminal to generate file path) I get an error that says "No such file or directory" however, as you can see in the screenshot the folder is there on my desktop. What could be the problem? Thanks.
Seems you have to put a space after the cd command, otherwise the Desktop is available with ~/Desktop on macos shell
I am using cmd to access C directory in windows 10. But it always go to C:\Users\LENOVO>. Actually I have to go to xampp folder in C drive. I have tried a few options but could not reach to xampp.
Some of them are:
C:\Users\LENOVO>C:
This results to C:\Users\LENOVO>.
Another one,
C:\Users\LENOVO>C: cd xampp
This also results the same: C:\Users\LENOVO>.
So please help me to access xampp folder which is in C drive as the cmd is always on
C:\Users\LENOVO>
However writing D: to cmd go to
D:\>.
This is not a valid command.
C: cd xampp
Use this instead.
CD C:\xampp
or
CD /D C:\xampp
The /D switch is explained in the help information using CD /?. It will also change the current drive letter. If you are currently on a D: directory, just using CD C:\Users\me will change the current directory on C:, but it will not change the current working drive away from D:.
Try cd / or maybe cd ../..
Both of these options will take you to base directory.
Open your command prompt. Write on it cd xampp then you reach on this folder.
I am having an issue with the windows cmd line. When I cd into my Users dir my user folder shows as there but I cannot cd into. The path cd\Users\gmenfan83\ is my desired location. However, when I am in the Users dir and cd\Users\gmenfan83 \ I get a "The path is not found or specified" . I am more of a nix user but if the folder shows in the directory tree shouldn't I be able to cd into it? Thank you
Are you trying to use cd/Users/gmenfan83 while you have already used cd/Users? In that case you will not be able to find the file since you are already in the Users folder. Typing cd \Users\gmenfan83 right after opening cmd with C drive path should get you there.
It's unclear (even after your edit) what specifically you're doing, but this should get you started.
If you're currently in C:\users, and you want to change into the C:\Users\gmenfan83 folder, all you need is cd gmenfan83. If you're in C:\, all you need is cd users\gmenfan83.
Relative paths also work in Windows cmd.exe just as they do under *nix. To change from C:\users\gmenfan83\test to C:\users\gmenfan83\temp, you can use cd ..\temp, or specify cd \users\gmenfan83\temp.
In the command prompt I am able to change the working directory by typing CD "new path"
for example take a look on how I am able to select directories that are located in my C drive:
but note that when I select a directory located in a different volume (A:...) the command prompt will not change the working directory...
cd /d A:\Users does what your looking for.
