Eric.C Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I am trying to go to the directory /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/eric/Desktop but all I can go is to volumes because Macintosh HD has a space in it and terminal would only recognize the Macintosh part of it... I can't rename because I'm in the install DVD right now...I tried underscore (_) but it didnt work. Any ideas on how I can go to that directory?

erbic Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 cd /Volumes/"Macintosh HD"/Users/eric/Desktop Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87912-help-with-command-line/#findComment-626221 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headrush69 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 or cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/Users/eric/Desktop which I prefer since tab completion will continue to work and works better in scripts. (tab completion after the closing " will turn it into \ anyways) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/87912-help-with-command-line/#findComment-626279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
