6.2.13 The dir command: list remote files

To list the files in your remote working directory, just type dir.

You can also list the contents of a different directory by typing dir followed by the directory name:

dir /home/fred
dir sources

And you can list a subset of the contents of a directory by providing a wildcard:

dir /home/fred/*.txt
dir sources/*.c

The ls command works exactly the same way as dir.
