00:00:00,270 --> 00:00:01,215
Welcome back.

2
00:00:01,215 --> 00:00:04,372
We're going to focus on
a few things in this video.

3
00:00:04,372 --> 00:00:07,652
But let's start off with file paths.

4
00:00:07,652 --> 00:00:13,989
File paths are kind of addresses to
where your files are on your computer.

5
00:00:13,989 --> 00:00:17,987
You'll need to know how to find
your files when opening them in,

6
00:00:17,987 --> 00:00:22,002
say another program, or
accessing them through the terminal.

7
00:00:22,002 --> 00:00:24,327
We'll get into that more later on.

8
00:00:24,327 --> 00:00:28,768
First, let's figure out
what file paths are.

9
00:00:28,768 --> 00:00:31,255
I'm here in Documents again.

10
00:00:31,255 --> 00:00:34,306
I find the easiest way
to visualize file paths

11
00:00:34,306 --> 00:00:37,206
is to change the view
to this Columns view.

12
00:00:40,554 --> 00:00:43,626
Now as I click into this first folder,

13
00:00:43,626 --> 00:00:49,681
you can see that there was a file inside
of that folder called index.html.

14
00:00:49,681 --> 00:00:57,688
If I had another folder, And

15
00:00:57,688 --> 00:01:03,607
let's say I'm just gonna copy, Paste,

16
00:01:07,056 --> 00:01:11,643
And you can see once I click into this
new folder, then there's a file inside

17
00:01:11,643 --> 00:01:15,024
of that folder and
it can just keep going on and on and on.

18
00:01:15,024 --> 00:01:19,895
So for instance,
the navigation that we have to get

19
00:01:19,895 --> 00:01:24,766
to this index.HTML file is
to go to Documents, and

20
00:01:24,766 --> 00:01:28,300
then click inside of my folder here.

21
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:34,717
And then click inside of new folder,
and then your file index.HTML.

22
00:01:34,717 --> 00:01:42,351
So the path is Documents > myFolderHere
> new_folder > index.html.

23
00:01:43,867 --> 00:01:48,507
Moving backwards, this index.html

24
00:01:48,507 --> 00:01:53,002
files file path would be Documents >

25
00:01:53,002 --> 00:01:57,933
myFolderHere, and then index.html.

26
00:01:57,933 --> 00:02:00,694
So it just kind of works
your way down the tree.

27
00:02:02,992 --> 00:02:06,537
Another common question
in regards to files

28
00:02:06,537 --> 00:02:09,710
is where your downloaded files end up.

29
00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:15,272
We're going to navigate out of Documents
and right below it into Downloads.

30
00:02:17,394 --> 00:02:23,054
This is a separate folder on your computer
where your downloaded files will appear.

31
00:02:23,054 --> 00:02:28,308
So anything you download from
your browser like Google Chrome,

32
00:02:28,308 --> 00:02:32,699
Firefox, or Safari,
will all end up in this folder.

33
00:02:32,699 --> 00:02:37,307
To move files out of this folder and
into your documents,

34
00:02:37,307 --> 00:02:44,128
you can either right-click them, copy
them, go into Documents, and then paste.

35
00:02:47,242 --> 00:02:51,092
Or let me delete this one because
we already have a file here.

36
00:02:53,793 --> 00:03:02,276
Or you can click and drag your file
into your Documents, and there it is.

37
00:03:02,276 --> 00:03:07,239
And just like you can drag from
your Downloads into your Documents,

38
00:03:07,239 --> 00:03:12,221
if I wanted this file to go into my
folder, I can just click and drag.

39
00:03:12,221 --> 00:03:15,231
And now if I click this little arrow,

40
00:03:15,231 --> 00:03:20,097
you can see I now have two index
files inside of that folder.

41
00:03:20,097 --> 00:03:24,873
And then similarly,
if I wanted to move it into this folder,

42
00:03:24,873 --> 00:03:28,255
just click and
drag to where it needs to go.

43
00:03:30,399 --> 00:03:35,140
Finally, I wanted to show you how to
find files when trying to open them in

44
00:03:35,140 --> 00:03:36,395
another program.

45
00:03:36,395 --> 00:03:40,280
If you're joining us as a part
of your coding journey,

46
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,423
you might end up using something
like Visual Studio Code.

47
00:03:44,423 --> 00:03:50,529
When I open the program it prompts me
to create a new file or open a folder.

48
00:03:50,529 --> 00:03:53,665
What we want to do is open a folder,

49
00:03:53,665 --> 00:03:58,109
we want to go double-click
into our Documents.

50
00:03:58,109 --> 00:04:03,473
And I'm just gonna ing to say let's
double-click here into myFolderHere,

51
00:04:03,473 --> 00:04:06,536
so that we can get to
this index.html file.

52
00:04:06,536 --> 00:04:12,137
And then I can hit Open,
And now, you can see

53
00:04:12,137 --> 00:04:17,300
I still have access to that other folder
with those other two files inside of it.

54
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:23,453
And I've access to our index.html
file here in Visual Studio Code.

55
00:04:23,453 --> 00:04:27,301
This same process will be
incredibly similar with any

56
00:04:27,301 --> 00:04:31,412
other program that needs to
open a file on your computer.

57
00:04:31,412 --> 00:04:34,720
In the next video we'll
look at working with zips.
