Welcome to the Maemo Community.
Are you sure you're not intending to do
Your working directory is probably /root instead of of /home/user, so 'cd MyDocs' won't work.

Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs

even at the /home/user promt you still need to use the complete path eg /home/user/MyDocs

what do you expect to "happen"?
if nothing happens (=no error message), chances are that you did change your working directory. how did you verify you didn't? do you rely on the directory name being part of the command prompt? or did you check using 'pwd' or at least 'ls'?

cd /MyDocs/ it went to MyDocs...
Are you absolutely sure that it wasn't one of the following?:
Code:
cd MyDocs/ cd ./MyDocs/ cd ~/MyDocs/

last night i unistall the uTorrent on my n900, and somehow the command was working again...it appears that when you install the uTorrent watcher on the n900, the programm automatically tries to establish remote connection with the original uTorrent (wich is my PC), taking all the root access of my phone for it... :SSS....anyway it's working now, although i had to write the full path, cd /home/user/MyDocs/...doesn't matter )
thank you all for your replies!!!!!

Small point but easy mistake to make, is to omit the space between 'cd' and the desired directory.

so, my n900 got crazy...a week ago, the cd command stopped working..i have the Rootsh installed, i'm in the "sudo gainroot" enviroment and i can't cd...for example, i want to cd /MyDocs/....i get the anoying error message /bin/sh: cd can't cd to /MyDocs/ ...everytime i put a diferent directory name, is says /bin/sh: cd can't cd to (direcrotyname) .... the only cd that works is cd /home/user/
