Ubuntu Server: How scroll through the terminal/screen by page and line? [VirtualBox]

Having VirtualBox with

• Hosts: Mac and Windows 10
• Guest: Ubuntu Desktop && Server (18.04) and Desktop (20.04)

In the Terminal when the screen is filled about content shown through the output after the use of many commands - I need sometimes go up and go down - I did do a research and have the following that works

Desktop The Terminal is opened of course

Mac:

• shift + Fn + pgUp|Down (by page)
• shift + control + Up|Down (by line)

Windows:

• shift + pgUp|Down (by page)
• shift + Ctrl + Up|Down (by line)

Server (direct and unique interaction with the terminal/screen itself)

The commands shown above do not work. Nothing happens for the up|pgUp scenarios and ~ appears for the down|pgDown scenarios

How accomplished the same goal for Ubuntu Server?
