You can do this in the Nautilus (Also called "Files") preferences window. Here's how:

Make sure you have "Files" (program) running (or else the menus will NOT bring you the correct sub menus when you click on them)
Click Edit > Preferences
On the Views tab, select the List View viewing option next to "View new folders using:" and click close.

You're done!

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences default-folder-viewer 'list-view'

Options are 'list-view', 'icon-view' and 'compact-view'.

The tree view can be enabled from the files > preferences. There is a check box for this.

Version : 3.8.2

This is the "List View" in Nautilus up to v3.4 (shipped with Ubuntu 12.10). It's no longer available in Nautilus v3.6

You can activate it in the "View" menu:

Ubuntu 20.04, 18.04, and 17.10

Enable list view if it's not already enabled: Click the "Toggle view" button at top right.
- If list view is already enabled, the button will look like a grid of squares:
  
  If icon view is enabled, the button will look like a bulleted list:
Enable tree view: Go to Files menu -> Preferences -> Views tab -> under List View, enable Allow folders to be expanded

Or via CLI

Enable list view

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences default-folder-viewer 'list-view'

Enable tree view

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.list-view use-tree-view true

In nautilus-3.6 (raring), it's gone though I've added back along with several other changes in a ppa https://launchpad.net/~mc3man/+archive/nautilus-hacks

In 3.8 or higher it's been returned, enabled thru - click on files > preferences > Display > & enable there.

You can activate the tree view, called as "list view" by clicking via View -> List.

The same can be done by pressing Ctrl + 2 To revert back press Ctrl+ 1
