You're seeing the error because the path you're trying to navigate isn't a valid directory. The 'ls' command shows the folder name, but when you use CD to jump in, Windows treats it as a directory without a corresponding entry. This usually happens when the path is incorrect or the folder doesn't exist as expected.

It's not a lie, it's likely a text file or configuration file. You might open it with nano, like nano hostapd, to check its contents.

It's clear you found the explanation confusing.

Additionally, there is the cat and more commands that just print out the contents of the file to the screen.
