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?

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.
