I am using large datasets (~15Gb), which I cannot use in my local computer due to space limitations. Therefore I have the data and their respective load files (do files) in an external hard drive. However, I am not sure why I am not able to use or save any files in any directory that is not the immediate directory I "cd" 'd to .
For example, I set directory to my external hard drive's "folder 1"
Code:
.cd "/Volumes/external hard drive/folder 1" /Volumes/external hard drive/folder 1 . pwd /Volumes/external hard drive/folder 1
Code:
. run "/Volumes/external hard drive/folder1/sub-folder 1/ specific-do-file.do" file /Volumes/external hard drive/folder1/sub-folder 1/ specific-do-file.do not found
Code:
. save "/Volumes/external hard drive/folder1/sub-folder 1/testsavedata.dta", replace (file /Volumes/external hard drive/folder1/sub-folder 1/testsavedata.dta not found) file /Volumes/external hard drive/folder1/sub-folder 1/testsavedata.dta could not be opened
Thank you for the support!
