1. First go the directory where the file is saved.
2. Try ls command to check if the file is there or not.
3. Try cat filename command to display it. Use the filename with extension i.e. example.txt.

cd desktops, then. If you're not in the right folder, you won't see the file.

It may be better to do ls than cat, especially if it is a binary file.
