File Structure

  • For root user , we have /etc, /var, /home folder

    [root@test_server /]# ls
    bin dev etc lib media opt root sbin sys usr
    boot EDD1 home lib64 mnt proc run srv tmp var
  • With in home - individual user account directory

    cd home
    ls
    output
    user1
  • With in user directory

    cd user1
    ls
    output
    Desktop our_team_folder
    Documents Music Templates
    Downloads Pictures
    Public Videos
  • So path from other servers or root user to any target is as follows

    /home/user1/path/to/folder
  • Say you have logged in to server with user1, then terminal points at /home/user1. so target path is relative to that.
