Useful command to get the names of files located on a unix or linux box. POSIX component. Also works from ftp interface. Dos equivalent is dir.

If you for some reason don't have access to the ls executable (which might be the case if you're manually installing linux from floppies and don't have room for it), you can still get a poor man's ls by writing echo *.
