This is the last time I'll leave in how to ssh into a device. The 'ls' command list the contents of our directory. When using the cat command to display that file we use "./" before our file name, remember that from the previous level? The "./" tells the command "Hey! look from where we are in this directory right now!" It may not have been needed here but knowing that will help us in the future and make a little more sense later.

We need to put quotations (either a ' or ") around the file name we want to open, otherwise and the first space our command line would assume we are trying to use a different command. So this would likely work as well

bandit2@bandit:~$ cat 'spaces in this filename'
