How to find files owned by a user

Hi Guys,

Is there any command to find all the files owned by a
particular user..

You can use the find command to do just that:

find / -user <username>

Also have a look at this: A complete tutorial on find

This will find files owned by user arnold on the system (you may need to run with root permissions to find all of them).

find / -user arnold 2>/dev/null

It's worth checking out find's man page - it's quite powerful.

Chain the commands together, or use the backticks (simpler)

cp `find / -user <username>` /some/destination
