That is interesting. I just remoted into 5 different machines at the office and none of them worked with ‘ls’. If you enter ‘ls /?’, does it give you a synopsis and argument list?

Mystery solved, ls works for me due to this:

https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases

which is a toolset that was installed by an emulator package somewhere along the line, I just didn't know it was there.

If I do “ls /?” it returns no such file or directory, but just “ls” performs exactly as you’d expect. I haven’t installed anything to provide that function that I know of. It never occurred to me that I would have to because as far as I know it’s always worked. Until today I just assumed it had become a standard command and never investigated. Was just happy I could use the same command in cmd and on my Pi box.
