I did try ls -a, and ls -al, but both just give a subdirectory list, one with a bit more info than the other.
find is probably the best solution in this case. But if you do want a recursive directory list use the -R option. (On commands where recursion is an option, it is usually -r or -R. Use the man command or the --help option to get more information about the command.)
