I want to access :x/index.html

Answer 1

You can access files outside your current directory with relative paths. Try using .. to move up a directory.

For example, If you are in x/folder/index.html and you can use the path ../index.html to get `x/index.html'

Answer 2

Here is all you need to know about relative file paths:

Starting with "/" returns to the root directory and starts there
Starting with "../" moves one directory backwards and starts there
Starting with "../../" moves two directories backwards and starts there (and so on...)
To move forward, just start with the first subdirectory and keep moving forward
