What is the command to see the Linux files in wide listing?
What is the command to display folders only?

On occasions I have to use Win98 and telnet or ftp into a remote Linux environment. I do this from Windows DOS prompt.
The problem is with the Win98 DOS prompt environment does not have a scrollbar, whereas Windows XP does.

My problem is when I enter the command
$ls
This shows all the files in a long list and since I have many files and folders some of the top files do not show?

I would like to display the files in wide listing i.e

file1 file2 file3 file4 ... fileN
rather then
file1
file2
...
fileN

What is the command for this? I have tried combinations like
$ls -w etc... but does not work
I have done search on the web and I thought this would be easily found on the web but I was very wrong.

The second questions
What is the command to display name of folders in Linux/Unix?
I have tried
$ls -d ... but this does not seem to be it?

did you try
ls -d *

also ls canbe aliased to something like ls -1 if you say that ls shows
file
file1
file2
......
fileN
unalias ls to get it working normally.

$ls -1
on telnet gives long listing
$ls
on telnet gives wide listing

$ls -1
on ftp gives long listing
$ls
on ftp gives long lisiting

ftp gives long listing for both commands.
I guess the best thing to do is open two clients. One for ftpo and the other for telnet?
