If you want to go up the tree you have to get the ".." directory entry and open that as a directory. There's nothing like that for a file though, only directories. You can start here for FAT information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table | |

Oh, then I have a misunderstanding in regards to how FAT files work. Is there a good resource I can use to learn more about FAT? How would I go up a directory in a tree? Would it be as easy as saying BrowseFile.open([&directory],"..",O_READ?

Well, .dirEntry() gets the entry in the directory for the file, not the directory the file is in. FAT has no way of going "up" from a file. In fact I am not aware of any filesystem that has the concept of "up" - even going up a directory in a tree is actually going down into the directory called ".."

Thank you, that seems to be the correct format. Unfortunately, it returns information on File1.txt and not Folder1 which makes it less useful. Also, a link to the API is now in the question
