Use the command dir to list all the directories and files in a directory; ls is a unix command. it is possible to make dir dsplay text horizontally ? this is helpful, just type dir in the cmd not the filename and dir. @Webwoman To show text horizontally, you can use dir /w .
Windows “dir” Command is “ls” Command Equivalent Windows MS-DOS and PowerShell command-line interface provide the dir command in order to list files and folders. By default without any option, the dir command lists files and folders.
You can't use ls on cmd as it's not shipped with Windows , but you can use it on other terminal programs (such as GitBash). Note, ls might work on some FTP servers if the servers are linux based and the FTP is being used from cmd . dir on Windows is similar to ls .
You can solve this question with one simple command:
echo @dir %* > %systemroot%\system32\ls.bat
Make sure you run cmd.exe as admin first if you are on vista and up
You could:
ls.bat and have it contain the dir command onlyls.bat file exists to your PATH environment variableYou could then execute ls from a command prompt.
Its an old question but for the record:

Gives you ls and a whole lot more!
Easiest way I have found is:
bin directory of Git to your Path variable. Mine was located in C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin.ls in all its glory.I have a solution but it's dirty:
Create a file named ls.bat containing only "dir".
Put it in C:\windows\system32 (or any directory in PATH env var).
That (should) works!
