jabojajaboja 2,0251 gold badge23 silver badges33 bronze badges 3 If you store stylesheets/images in a folder so that multiple websites can use them, or you want to re-use the same files on another site on the same server, I have found that my browser/Apache does not allow me to go to any parent folder above the website root URL. This seems obvious for security reasons - one should not be able to browse around on the server any place other than the specified web folders. Eg. does not work: www.mywebsite.com/../images As a workaround, I use Symlinks: Go to the directory of www.mywebsite.com Run the command ln -s ../images images Now www.mywebsite.com/images will point to www.mywebsite.com/../images answered Mar 4, 2020 at 10:32
2 Supposing you have the following file structure:
In CSS you can access NOTE: If you are using Chrome, it may doesn't work and you will get an error that the file could not be found. I had the same problem, so I just deleted the entire cache history from chrome and it worked.

How do you go back one folder in HTML?“one folder back in html” Code Answer. / = Root directory.. . = This location.. .. = Up a directory.. ./ = Current directory.. ../ = Parent of current directory.. ../../ = Two directories backwards.. How do you reverse a file path?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.
How do I reference a file in another directory in HTML?To reference a file in a subdirectory, write the directory name in front of the path, plus a forward slash, e.g. subdirectory/my-image. jpg . To link to a target file in the directory above the invoking HTML file, write two dots. So for example, if index.
How do you set a relative path?You can also set this option by right-clicking the script tool, clicking Properties, then clicking the General tab. At the bottom of the dialog box, check Store relative path names (instead of absolute paths).
