Linux is using similar tree structure of folders as Windows system.

Most basic command is ls which will show list of files in current folder.
Type ls and press Enter.
Be careful because Linux operating system is case sensitive, so always write commands in lower case.
Many times you will also need to use command ls -al
a parameter means that hidden files will also be shown and l parameter will show more detailed list of files.
