Installation: what is the root of /sdcard

I’m following these steps:
https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/wiki/en/wikis/device/FP2/install
And have a doubt at this stage:
“Place the /e/ .zip package on the root of /sdcard”

I typed adb push filename.zip /sdcard/ in the terminal on my Ubuntu pc and when finished I look in TWRP on my phone and find the .zip file in a folder named ‘sdcard’. Should it be like this? I’m not sure if it should be at the root of a folder named ‘sdcard’ or at the root of the actual removable sd card storage. My sd card has a strange name that I didn’t set myself, not ‘sdcard’. At its root it has about twenty folders (named boot, cache, data, dev, etc, external_sd, firmware, license, oem, root, system, and more) including ‘sdcard’ (probably just created)

The /sdcard/ you see here is on your internal storage and is the correct place for the zip folder.

Yes, it should be like this.

The name of your sdcard (I assume you mean the name the appears when inserted to the sd-slot of a computer) has no impact on the location where it is mounted in the filesystem (/sdcard/).

The directories you see (boot, cache, …) are default directories of Android.

Also the command adb push does not create directories.

PS H:\A> adb push .\testfile /testdirectory/
adb: error: failed to copy '.\testfile' to '/testdirectory/': remote couldn't create file: Is a directory
.\testfile: 0 files pushed. 0.0 MB/s (53 bytes in 0.016s)

So your directory /sdcard/ did exist before you executed the command.
