Smile command want list all in root / by filtering file and directory?


Hi, in linux. i want to using a command to filter a directory and files. is it using ls command? example: in my / root i have many directory and files, i want to filter the files and directory, because very difficult to difference folder and files i am using this command: #ls -al .all the directory and files will show on screen, so how to filter them, like just want to view only directory or only the files.

Thank you very much.
