MC or midnight commander is a file manager that can be run from the console or gui. It is a great console tool especially for those just getting started in linux. type mc at the command prompt to run the program. The menues are very intuitive and it allows you to delete, copy, rename, view or edit files. It has a built in text editor and can be used to view anything from HTML source code to JPGs. Same operations used on files can be done on directories. Here are some more links with information to help explain more or to obtain a copy of this program if your distribution didn't come with it.
