Others have mentioned things for you to try.  I'm just going to respond to this
little bit above.  The commands are likely still present, it's just that until
things are fixed you'll have to type a little bit more.  You have to give the
full path to run commands.  For instance, to run 'ls' you have to enter
'/bin/ls' and to run 'chown' you have to enter '/bin/chown'.  Once the file
perms are set properly, as outlined in another response, you won't need to type
the extra stuff anymore.
HTH,
