Two basic commands you will use most often are "cd" and "ls".
If you've used DOS, the cd <directory> is much the same as in DOS, to move
up a directory level, type "cd .." (you must have the space in between cd
and ..)
"ls" works the same as "dir" in DOS, it gives you a list of the
files/directories in that directory.
I would highly recommend you get a book that covers learning to use Linux.
Read up on the basics of using Linux, because there are severe risks
involved (including trashing your server) if you do not know what you are
doing.
