Usage Guidelines

The dir and ls commands are equivalent.

If -l and -a parameters are not specified, detailed information about all files and directories in a specified directory is displayed when you run the dir or ls command. The effect is the same as the dir -l command output.
By default, if the remote-directory parameter is not specified, the list of current directory files is displayed when you run the dir or ls command.
