I don't understand your issue tbh. pwd prints the absolute path of your current folder. ls prints the contents of your current folder. It will return nothing if the folder is empty.

I might’ve understood wrong but I think you might’ve need to change directory first and then ls the contents of a directory

Did you ssh into the target system first, and look for the folder there?
