UNIX “No such file or directory” though I see it

Question

I feel as if there is a simple solution for this, but I myself am not able to figure it out. Adams-MacBook-Pro-3:Random adam$ ls /Users/adamgoetsch/Documents/Java Workspace/ ls: /Users/adam/Documents/Java: No such file or directory ls: Workspace/: No such file or directory

I am not able to list what is in this folder. It seems as if it is seeing /Users/adam/Documents/Java and Workspace/ as something separate. Some insight would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Because of the space in Java Workspace , the terminal is treating /Users/adamgoetsch/Documents/Java and Workspace/ as two separate arguments to ls

To treat it as one path, either escape the space:

 ls /Users/adamgoetsch/Documents/Java\ Workspace/

Or put the path in quotes:

 ls '/Users/adamgoetsch/Documents/Java Workspace/'
