I tried ls command (and multiple others), but it's not working, how do I list the files in the directory and navigate around?

I'm attaching file to explain what I mean:

I have tried in my cloud shell and am able to list my files and navigate to the directories present. The ls command is used to list files or directories in Linux and unix. You can try using ls-a which will list the files and directories including hidden files that begin with a “.”.

If you want to display files and directories that are in the VM then you need to SSH to the respective VM instance and then try using ls -a command then it will display the respective files and directories along with hidden files. There may be a possibility that there are no directories within your cloud shell. Please refer to the images attached.
