How to find out the filesystem type of devices and partitions on Linux

So, I was working on a system remotely over ssh and I had to find out what filesystem was a particular partition formatted into. The thing looks trivial, but if you have been using some GUI app for this, then it won't come easy if you are working on a console. The trick in such situations is to look into the commands that deal with stuff similar to what you want, i.e disks & partitions in my case. So, I went for df, & parted.
