Checking disk space in SSH is super simple, but anytime you access the command line, you should ONLY run commands you are familiar with. You can really cause some heavy damage with 'fat fingers'.

(depending on your server setup, you may need to use 'sudo' before these)

My favorite for summary:
df -h

Using fdisk:
fdisk -l

Folder breakdown (more keeps it from scrolling crazy):
du | more

Human readable:
du -h

Sort in descending order with a pipe:
du -h | sort -hr | more

Check file size:
du -ah | sort -rh | more
