UNIX is case sensitive. That is, it MATTERS whether a letter is upper or lowercase. Try typing in the command you want all in lowercase letters (this is the norm for UNIX). It should work. A rule of thumb for UNIX: Start all directories with Uppercase letters (i.e. Download, Bin, etc.) then you can distinguish between files and directories – mind you this is only a suggestion, you don’t HAVE to do it.
