I'm SSH'd into a computer, so I can't use a GUI to access the path name. Is there a way that you can see the path directly on terminal without having to use Nautilus?

Do you mean 'pwd' and 'ls' to see the workding directory and list the files? — TeTeT

This question could maybe be re-worded a little bit for better clarity, but this question, comment and answer together provided me exactly what I needed, so it's helpful! — mbm29414

If you just want to get the information of current directory, you can type:

pwd

and you don't need to use the Nautilus, or you can use a teamviewer software to remote connect to the computer, you can get everything you want.

If somebody cared (as I did), pwd stands for print working directory Source
