Linux is a very sensitive OS, .......... case-sensitive that is. 

Are you sure it was /dev/ttys0? Was it /dev/ttyS0? 

[ali at test t]$ ll /dev/ttys*
ls: /dev/ttys*: No such file or directory
[ali at localhost t]$ ll /dev/ttyS*
crw-rw---- 1 root ali 4, 64 Nov 26 16:26 /dev/ttyS0
crw-rw---- 1 root ali 4, 65 Nov 26 16:26 /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root ali 4, 66 Nov 26 16:26 /dev/ttyS2
crw-rw---- 1 root ali 4, 67 Nov 26 16:26 /dev/ttyS3
[ali at test t]$ 

Of course, although the convention is /dev/ttyS0, 
your OS could name it the port anything, 
so /dev/ttys0, /dev/COM1, and /dev/ttyCereal0, 
could all be legitimate name.
