Same thing happened to me...there is also a "touchfree" folder there too, right?

Don't panic....its just that the latest version of touchfree changes the directories a little...everything is still there.

The best thing to do (for instance, if you want to find your "Applications" folder again) is to go up through the directories until you reach the top (uppermost) one...you can do this by clicking on the 2 dots just below the blank folder on the extreme left side of your folder list in the initial directory level (the one that has the "root.zip" and the "touchfree" and "media" folders, this is the "directory level" where you start from after you SSH into your touch.......its NOT at the highest level yet
.........once you get to the uppermost directory level, just search downwards until you find the folder you need.....

Good luck!

don't worry... all is fine... same thing happened to me, it all depends on how you "broke" your ipod... You are looking for the "/" folder... When inside you SSH client, go all the way to the top directory. This is where you want to be, not media_sym .... Different strokes for different brokes... lol
