Also, You are using way to many quotes. Just write this: file_path="/some/where/Test Folder/" echo $file_path cd $file_path You already quoted the path once. There is no need for the quotes around the variable and there is no need for the single and double quotes around the path. Also, put in a pwd after the cd so you can see where you are as a test.
