Resolved About reaching a file location

[hsop]

Hello,

I'm a newbie who has been using Windows for years so I'm having some problems adapting to Mac. So forgive me if my question is a small matter, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere.

I changed some settings on a client I use for downloading and it has for some reason set the latest saving location of my files to a /private folder.

I corrected the location on the client so I won't have this problem again but for now the files I got until I noticed this are in that /private folder. In a /-Tmp- folder to be more specific.

So I have two questions:

Is there any way to reach these files?

Because even if I have the files' exact location, I don't know where to paste it to go to that folder as Mac doesn't seem to have an address bar like Windows.

Or would these files be deleted shortly since they're in a /-Tmp- folder? Assuming that is short for "temporary"?

As I said, this may be a small thing to all of you but I couldn't find an answer anywhere so any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Good question, if you have an exact filepath go to your Go menu and select go to folder and put the exact file path in and it should take you right there.
