What directory is '~' when I type 'cd ~'?

Question

I\'m only new to using SSH, but when I log in I end up in the directory ~, which in general is the same directory when FTPing in. I can still go to /, but I don\'t know what

Answer 1

Yes, it is the home directory of the user you logged in as. You can use the command pwd (print working directory) to see where it is located on the file system.
