How to use file protocol to access a directory on local system?

Question

like /usr/local?

I tried file:///usr/local but failed

[root@www2 robot]# cd file:///usr/local
-bash: cd: file:///usr/local: No          


        

Answer 1

file:/// doesn't work on bash or derivative shells.

It will work in most browsers, and possible wget and curl, but bash is not a web browser.
