If you type 'cd -' at the command line it takes you back to the last

And similarly, just like "~" means your home directory, "~-" will
expand to the previous directory you were in. So the following works
nicely:
$ cd /media/usb1/podcasts
$ ls # look around, clean out old podcasts I've listened to
$ cd ~/Music/podcasts
$ cp *.mp3 ~-
That last "cp" command will copy all the MP3 files from the current
directory ("~/Music/podcasts") to the previous directory you were in
("/media/usb1/podcasts").
I use this pretty regularly and it saves typing out the full path
multiple times.
