Try following to get list of files and dir from a shell prompt

Code:

ls 
ls -l

To change directory use cd command:

Code:

cd directory name

To go to your home directory

Code:

 cd ~

To go to your Desktop directory:

Code:

cd ~/Desktop
ls -l

To go to ton009:

Code:

cd ~/Desktop/ton009
ls -l

To copy file duck09.jpg to /tmp

Code:

cp duck09.jpg /tmp
cd /tmp
ls -l
