-bash: cd: builds01/: No such file or directory

Answer 1

Check out user permissions: you are not root at the moment. The folder is readable only by root (and belongs to root).

Answer 2

I had an issue once such as this. It’s possible that this is on mount point and not a real directory. Another possibility is there may be white space before the name of the directory that was somehow created.

Try to do: cd \ builds01 or even cd “builds01” and see if that works. If all else fails attempt to use something such as filezilla or winscp and navigate to the path.
