Displaying the contents of a directory: ls

  To sort and display the names of all the directories and files that reside in your current directory, use the ls command: 
 
               		  ls


               		  file1


               		  file2


               		  file.3


               		  Mail

Note that this will not list the hidden files such as .login. For that issue the command 

 
               		  ls -a
