5.3.4.4 Moving Back

The ../ set of characters is used to move back one directory in the filesystem. If you are in a directory and want to back up one directory in the tree you can use ../ to with the cd command.

The example below starts in the /home/matt/myfolder directory. The cd ../ command is used to move back one directory to the /home/matt directory.

You can also combine multiple ../ sets together to move back more than one directory. The example below starts in the /home/matt/myfolder directory. The cd ../../../ command is used to move back three directories to the / or root directory.
