Is there UNIX analog of ftp command pls, i. e. ls | less ?
Yes, "ls | less" is the way to do it. You can add a shell alias to
make it easier to type:
alias pls="ls -l | less"
That's for bourne-style shells (sh,bash,zsh). for csh, you would use
alias pls "ls | less"
Another way to do it would be to write a script named pls and put it in
your path:
#! /bin/sh
ls "$@" | less

Thank you for response, but I know how to write aliases and bash scripts.
I just thought, I don't know the standard way.
Apropos,
alias pls="ls -l | less"
is not a proper way, because of the command
pls directory
will give
ls -l | less directory
which is not what one want.
Put tildes (`) around the command alias maybe, or make the pls into a
script?
