Code:

find / -user <username> -type f

You may have to be root to find them all.

when i do that, all i get is permission denied. i'm remote accessing a server, is there anything to do with getting permission denied?

You must execute this as user 'root'.

do you mean that i have to be user 'root' or to be in root directory?
if i have to be user 'root', how can i do that?
