To ensure that a relative path functions correctly from a different directory, you can use the following method:

  1. Identify the relative path that you wish to use.
  2. Determine the current directory that you are in.
  3. Identify the target directory from which you want to use the relative path.
  4. Calculate the relative path from the target directory to the destination directory using the ../ notation.
  5. Test the relative path by navigating to the destination directory from the target directory using the calculated relative path.

For example, if you have a file located at './folder1/file.txt', and you want to access it from a different directory './folder2/', you would calculate the relative path as '../folder1/file.txt'. Then, you would test the path by navigating to './folder2/' and using the relative path to access './folder1/file.txt'.
