I’m attempting to to install Nextcloud on a VPS Ubuntu server using Cloudpanel. as I was following the official Nextcloud installation doc by Cloudpanel and had to navigate to the directory ~/tmp, I noticed that I see no directories at all in my server.
root@vmi1808444:~# cd ~/tmp
-bash: cd: /root/tmp: No such file or directory
when I run the ls command in the home directory, it’s practically empty which doesn’t make sense because Cloudpanel is already running on the server and is perfectly accessible, which means that I should be able see its installation files.
root@vmi1808444:~# ls
update.txt
root@vmi1808444:~# ls -a
. .. .bash_history .bashrc .cache .config .local .profile update.txt
it's quite different to when I run ls in my Linux machine home directory, I get all the OS folders and config files of the installed programmes...
any advice? is it possible that I don’t have a permission to see these directories from my VPS provider?
