I'm on Mac and was trying to see where I could go using Terminal. I typed cd documents and then ls, and could see the directories in documents, but when I try to go deeper to say "Web Projects" I get an error:
Williams-MacBook-Pro:~ williammcmanus$ pwd /Users/williammcmanus Williams-MacBook-Pro:~ williammcmanus$ cd documents Williams-MacBook-Pro:documents williammcmanus$ ls Billy's Work Elation_Lounge_Logo-[Recovered].jpg Brians_Hookah_Lounge.jpg Music Documentaries Elation_Lounge_Logo [Recovered].ai Web Projects Williams-MacBook-Pro:documents williammcmanus$ cd web projects -bash: cd: web: No such file or directory Williams-MacBook-Pro:documents williammcmanus$
Wondering why I can only travel one directory down? Any thoughts?

15,619 PointsAre you sure there is a directory named web projects in your documents directory? Based on what I can see , there is no directory in the directories.
'Mkdir' to create web_projects inside of documents
Then 'touch' to add files to directory
