It seems that you're unsure where you're working.

If you are naming and using files by just providing their filename, without any leading pathname, you'll need those files to be in your current working directory. When you download a file using your browser, it'll be placed in the browser's default location (directory), but you can change this (usually through the right mouse button) with 'Save As...' Set that location to your shell's working location, and then use ls to ensure that your required file has been downloaded there.
