You may want to type the command ls to list all files in the current directory to verify it is there. What are you using to edit your files, or compile them, can you list sample commands you use to edit your file in command line?

It's been a while since I used linux, but here's what I think. Your most likely not in the directory that contains your source files, if I am not mistaken Ubuntu allows you to right click in the current directory and select Open Terminal. This will open the Terminal in the directory that you are currently in which can be very usefull. It would be nice if you told us which compiler you are using, I would suggest gcc. You can find most any Ubuntu questions/answers on the array of Ubuntu forums and insall guides are plentiful.

In addition you can use the 'cd' "PathToYourSourceFile" command to move to the directory containing the source files. Example:
If your source files are on the desktop you would need to figure out where you are in the shell (command line prompt). You can do so by typing "pwd". Lets say the result is /home/AntlaTech and your source files are on your desktop. You would move the focus of the shell to the desktop via
cd Desktop then verify the files are there with ls. Once the files are there you should be able to execute via the command line.
