Answer / phil
It will list the files and directories of the current user
parent's login directory
i.e.
If the current user smith login directory is "/home/smith",
then the parent's login directory is "/home"
In this example, the files and directories in "/home" are
listed.

Answer / shubhadip
It depends on your HOME directory. " ~ " sign denotes your
HOME directory and " /.. " for HOME's parent directory.
By default user's HOME directory is /home/user_name . So
at that time ls ~/.. command will show the contents of
directory /home .
But if somebody has set a different HOME directory
(e.g. /opt/apps/usr). Then the command will show the
contents of directory /opt/apps .
I used "HOME" for the environment variable and "home" for
directory name. These 2 are completely different thing.
If you want to know what is your HOME directory. Then you
can type echo $HOME
