Level 7: Finding Your Way Back
Finding Your Way Back Climb up a level, then jump straight to the top.

.. always means "the folder above this one", so CD .. steps back up. Those are the same two dots DIR listed a moment ago.

The backslash \ on its own means the root: the very top of the drive. CD \ takes you straight there from anywhere, however deep you have wandered.

MS-DOS uses backslashes between folder names where bash uses forward slashes. That single difference is the most common trip-up when people move between the two, and it is still with us today.

CD ..Go up one folder.
CD \Go straight to the top of the drive.
CD DOSGo down into DOS.
Your task
  • Go up one level with CD ..
  • Visit the DOS folder
  • Get back to the top with CD \

Open this level in your browser to type the commands at a live terminal that answers back.
