The basic fileutils (ls, cp, rm, etc) can be found at: http://www.gnu.org/software/fileutils/fileutils.html
You might also want to take a look at: http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/
GNU's webpage holds many if not all of the Linux utils. http://www.gnu.org/
Good options all. An additional one is the source packages associated with whichever Linux distribution you use.
In Debian, as an example, you can use the command "dpkg-query -S filename" to find the package that holds any file actually on your system. You can then use "apt-get source packagename" to install it.
I imagine the other packaging systems (or at least RPM) have analogous capabilities. Slackware CDs used to include a complete filelist that you could grep to match an app to its .tgz package.
