You can <code>cd /SOME-DIR</code> or you can <code>cd ../../SOME-DIR</code> not sure if that answers your question or not. Let m know, thanks for stopping by! Ronak,

By placing a backslash \ in front of a character will escape it, meaning it will take it's special character properties away and use it as a plain character. Normally in Linux an * is a wild card, meaning it can match anything. So if you have a bunch of images named IMG_0001.CR2, IMG_0002.CR2, IMG_0003.CR2, and keep going. You also have an IMG_000*.CR2.. don't know why, but you do. If you do <code>rm -rf IMG_000*.CR2</code> You will remove all of those images, not just the one with the * in the filename. Because * matches 1 2 3 and *. Now you want to delete just the one with the * in the filename, <code> rm -rf IMG_000\*.CR2</code> now * is an actual * and not matching 1,2,3,etc. Dejan Tomic,

I mean, I have a directory on my USB stick called "!Project"... for example /media/MyUSB/!Project/123/... now how can I switch to it with terminal so I can run my program under it? Or it is just unsupported and I HAVE to remove the "!" from the directory name? And how can I set a directory with “!” in its name as the current directory?
