I'm SSH'd into a computer, so I can't use a GUI to access the path name. Is there a way that you can see the path directly on terminal without having to use Nautilus?

11Do you mean 'pwd' and 'ls' to see the workding directory and list the files? – TeTeT Jul 22 '13 at 19:55

If you just want to get the information of current directory, you can type:
pwd
and you don't need to use the Nautilus, or you can use a teamviewer software to remote connect to the computer, you can get everything you want.
