Usage Scenario

You can run the cd command to change the current working directory. The root directory is the default working directory.

Prerequisites

To execute this command, you must enter into the SFTP client view after log in to the SFTP server.

Configuration Impact

The cd command changes the working path or the directory of the current user but not other users.

You can use this command to access another authorized directory on the SFTP server.
