You can simply type ls | more

use the more command like: ls -l | more (pipe sign)
or u can scroll the output both up and down one line at a time, try this command: ls -l | less (here ctrl+c does not work, while u have to press q to exit)

For this you use the "less" o "more" command and you connect them with the pipe character "|" so the command should be "ls | less" or "ls | more" for me, "less" is better.

Pipe the output of ls command to more command. So it should look like this ls | more. Say, if you're trying to see what's inside /home/user/Documents you can type ls /home/user/Documents | more. This will let you see the contents of Documents page by page, or line by line.

Add "|more" at end (without quotes)

Hey Charles,
You can certainly "pause" the ls command. All you have to do is use ls in conjunction with the less command. So for example you'd type "ls | less" without the quotes. Also to create the | symbol (pipe) just hold shift and hit the key above enter. You can also look at my site for a little more information about ls and various other commands. www.cmdlist.com

Hope this helps,
Adam

In the command prompt type:

#ls | less

This will force ls to list content one screen-section at a time.

ls -l | more

Why not just scroll up and down with: SHIFT + PgUP/pgDOWN ?

You could redirect the output to a file as well:
ls > output_file
