A simple question.

I know this seems silly, but I really don't know how to do this.

Lets say the path of a directory is /user/home/Desktop/Big Pictures/

How would I 'cd' into that directory in the terminal? It seems as though files names with spaces in the aren't supported. How do I go about doing this?

Thanks,

cd "/user/home/Desktop/Big Pictures"

Generally I try to avoid spaces in names for this reason. But quotes usually takes care of the problem.

Code:

cd ~/Desktop/Bi

but before you press Enter, hit Tab twice.

Code:

cd /user/home/Desktop/Big\ Pictures

also works.
