Trying to browse into iocage in Shell but get permission denied at every folder level

[rebo00]

Hi,
OS: FreeNAS-11.3-U2.1
I open Shell > logs in as root > type /mnt > enter > zsh: permission denied: /mnt
I understand that root has been removed from accessing anything via shell and that /mnt isn't accessible anyway, ok.
I open Shell > login > admin and password > type /mnt/***STORAGE POOL NAME***/iocage/jails/jail name/ > /mnt/***STORAGE POOL NAME***/iocage/jails/jail name/: Permission denied
I get this with any folder in the entire structure.
I need to get into the Databases folder to run a command and backup some files.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Andy

How about open shell as root, type cd /mnt/***STORAGE POOL NAME***/iocage/jails/jail name<CR> ?

Have you tried the Shell button for the jail itself?

Your just using the wrong commands. Need to use cd.

This, don't know how I didn't find anything on that.
So what does just typing the directory in without cd actually try to do?
Thanks for the replies, appeciated.

It tries to execute it like a program. First thing in the cmd is almost always a program of some kind.

Once you have arrived at your destination directory using "cd" (change directory), then "ls" to list contents. I suggest that you look at the FreeBSD man pages for the commands for clarification on them.
