Open console and type in help
It tells you all the commands you need, then just go around the file system

I really can't figure it out. Do you just type: cd <'Logbook'> any type of variation because that's not working. Unless it's dumb enough, it's all computer code jargon that i can't understand.

Try going back (by typing "cd ..") and search all the folders not just Desktop.

Not got this far but typing help in the console should list all commands usable.

If it's anything like a command window on a PC I'd be looking at typing

DIR

that should list all Files & Directories you are able to access from your current location within the directory structure.

If you notice anything resembling what you're looking for try

CD

that will "Change Directory"
Directories are basically like a folder on windows.
After CD you do a space and type the name of the thing you want to look in from what you see in the list after you've typed DIR.

If you want to go back 1 Folder / Directory type..

CD..

Personally I'd go to the absolute beginning by typing..

CD\

This would take me to the beginning of the directory structure so I would be in no doubt that the next thing I typed would search absolutely everywhere on the computer with..


DIR *book* /s

Then keep my fingers crossed as the computer starts checking everywhere for anything with "book" in its name.

* is a wildcard and /s means search subdirectories too
If it finds anything then use the CD commands to navigate to where it's located.


As I say I'm only presuming the server is a DOS windows PC based operating system.


*Just 4 Laffs..*
If it's Linux Based then errr.
Try typing random stuff but don't forget to add SUDO everywhere.

This helped me a bit more to figure out.
Yeah I still haven't figured it out. I've tried cd .. but nothing works and it only comes up with "Command or file not found!" Just give me what exactly to put in.

I haven't got this far as yet but you don't want a space between CD and ..
More of a CD..

can you type help and post a screenshot.?

I dont think devs will be happy if the answers are posted.

after cd ..
The start line will change from user/admin/desktop> to user/admin>

1. To open a Folder type: cd then name of folder
2. to check what's inside: dir
3. then repeat

Finally getting the hang of it thanks.Too bad the system is so strict.
Well I've managed to get to the file but I can't open it. I've inputted both the file name and type in the computer but nothing.
Yes I was using he <>s around them as well but still no luck.
Drako07Spyder 2 Jan, 2024 @ 9:03pm 
It should have worked: <> + filename.

The filename should be exactly how it showed up. No capital letters
