I've used these two commands from terminal for many months and they've worked just fine:
cd /media/tom/My\ Book4TB/Misc
cd /media/tom/My\ Book3TB
All of a sudden, they've stopped working with the following error:
I can access both from the desktop icons no problem, but I need access to both hd's via terminal. Always worked before.
Anyone? TIA
CD'ing from terminal to external hd's has quit working.

Right click the desktop icons and choose Properties.
Use that path--should work from terminal
Everything in life was difficult before it became easy.

Thanks.
That worked but any idea why it stopped working directly from the terminal?

Re: CD'ing from terminal to external hd's has quit working.
I think the space in the path is the culprit
try:
cd "/media/tom/My\ Book3TB"
the quotes should fix

Thanks, but doesn't work that way.
This really isn't a big issue, (just an annoyance), as long as I can get to the files via terminal that I need to get to.
I have to run the 'touch' command on 3 files, in 3 different places, weekly.
Your first suggestion works fine.
