You want "less" (Score:1)

On Linux, "less" can handle both:
less dir/

less file.txt

However, on the FreeBSD machines I use, "less" can't handle directories, so I don't depend on it for that.

  less dir/ only works for me when $ENV{LESSOPEN} is set to an appropriate script, regardless of Linux or BSD.
