Try either ls or du command from the directory you are starting on
ls -lR will list all files and du -s will list total usage. Look at the man pages for those commands for more options and the man page for the df command for complete filesystems.

Example:

[localhost ~]$ pwd
/home/hunter
[localhost ~]$ du -s .
49864 .
[localhost ~]$ ls -l
total 252

-rwxr--r-- 1 hunt staff 179 Sep 21 10:53 control
-rwxr--r-- 1 hunt staff 210 Sep 27 18:02 cutjunk
