I have a directory in Desktop named Project. I tried opening it using the cd command but it is not opening. What's the reason?
Check the screenshot. The directory has all the required permissions.
I tried with the root user also, but facing the same problem.
It looks to me like the Project directory has a space at the start of it, so try:
cd " Project"
If it's something other than a space (say a tab) then
cd *Project
should do the trick.
There is a white space before Project.
Try this:
cd \ Project
or
cd ' Project'
or
cd " Project"
There seems to be an extra space, try:
$ cd " Project"
Looks like the directory starts with a space. Try cd \ Project
Am I the only one who thinks the OP's screen snapshot is a bit strange?
"ls -ll" should sort by filename. If the "Project" file began with some invisible character than looks like a space, why does it sort between "perl" and "Screenshot.png"?
If I go into any directory and do "mkdir ' Project'", then "ls -ll" sorts it at the top of the list.
This looks like a listing produced by "ls -lt".
