Help with Sed

Hi All,

Based from the following string, is there a way to parse the 4th value after the occurrence of / character?

For example:

"hostname /exp/jump/SH_REL_NO/FOLDER_A.daily/boot/Solaris_10 10.10.120.32"

I need to get the value FOLDER_A

I tried the following command, but its removing all the occurrence of /.

echo "hostname /exp/jump/SH_REL_NO/FOLDER_A.daily/boot/Solaris_10 10.10.120.32" | sed 's/\(.*\)\///'
Solaris_10 10.10.120.32

Thanks in advance for the help.
