I am the GCP user and I built a site with GCP and WordPress. I just started up a plugin on WordPress and it made my site crashed. I searched for solution and it taught me to delete the plugin folder through SSH. However, I am denied to get into htdocs folder. I really need somebody to help me to get into the folder.
It showed me the message below.
Please teach me what should I do to get the permission to get into the folder. Thank you a lot!

Hey 郭翊慶,
On a linux system when a user doesn't have access to a folder, they will see a message like this when they attempt "cd". I'm not familiar enough with WordPress to know whether this is the correct way to delete a plugin, but I trust you're following good advice from elsewhere (you might want to double-check anyways). However, I can tell you how to get into the folder. Run "sudo su" and type the root user password for the machine to become the root user, which will allow you to both navigate to and delete any folder you like.
Cheers!
