IBM sftp from Linux: Need Linux commands to search/view/rename/delete files

Never used Linux. Need to search/view/rename/delete and pull file(s) from Linux to IBM. Some IBM commands do not work in Linux. Need Linux commands.

what is ibm (aix ?) i would look into ssh , scp , sftp , ...
sshfs will probably work great in this situation.

Search

Code:

eg:find <place_to_search> -name <filename>  
This will find everything on the root "/" that has the name "lilo" in it.

find / -name lilo

View

Code:

 There are several options here, vi, nano, cat, grep 
 Let's use the more basic command cat
cat <filename>

Move/Rename

Code:

 These commands are the same
mv <oldfilename> <newfilename>

Delete

Code:

rm <file>

I am not sure what you mean by pull, also please read the manpages on these commands as they offer more information then I can give you on them.
