try this

login to your server

when you are logged in as root try these commands:

pwd

this command will show you the where you currently are

it will probably say something like this:

/home/USER_NAME

* USER_NAME = whatever your username is

now you can change directory from /home/USER_NAME to lets say your web directory:

cd /var/www/html

now send pwd again and you will see that you changed directories to:
/var/www/html
