Hi,
I want to search all sub-folders for one specific file extension. what is the "ls" command to this?

Find is the command you are after. Make sure to use it recursively.

in xterm or terminal will lead you on the way. I won't discuss this much further as there are plenty examples on the net.

But how to search all sub-folders within the current path?

find . -name "*.yourext"

While the find command will work, depending on which shell you use their might be inbuilt options. For example, in Zsh you can do this:This will find all files with the .jpg extension in the current directory and all sub-directories.

Many thanks.
I'm not able to find out one Download folder by this

find . -name "*ownload"

can you please advise?

Dear sir, looking back at posts you have done, being able to setup mysql, editing host files etc..

The search for name will find file names not directory names.

I find it hard to believe you wont get search engine results. Search for

Linux cli find directory


It is literraly the first result that pops up.

Now I understand that at times we all need answers, but surely it is not that difficult to find that info between search engines and the man page.

If on the other hand you wish to use regex, sure there are regex gods here and I think that sort of thing is legitimate, but...

You asked two questions.

The first. In a search engine, you can use

linux cli recursive find file format.

Which kindly has been answered already.

And for the second question about directories the link I posted above in this post.

For the folder you downloaded to, check browser settings. If you did not change it, it will be in your home directory, probably labeled Download.

If you used wget, then there is no centralized download folder. It will be the directory you were in at the time or the one you told wget to save to.

Is the folder you're looking for maybe called Downloads? Then try "*ownloads" or "*ownload*"

Based on another thread and many others, op, please consider doing a little more leg work. In most cases for you it will be quicker than us answering.

Refering to your thread

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...me-4175552491/

And almost all other threads you started, I cannot see areason why a search engine cannot give you a working solution within 20 minutes, then on top of that it is convenient copy and paste.

I am sorry to sound crude, but heck mate. Let's smarten up on searching a tad.

This forum and a few other sites are absolute treasure troves where I found answers to obscure things.

Please invest in a good linux admin book. You ran mysql at a point on centos, if still using that, michael jang and others have great books. But before spending money, search a bit. Spend some time on the man pages and then after that please ask allyou wish.

You have started 120 threads asking questions that for 90 is available on this site fairly easily in other threads.

Since you are logged in on windows and the time span on this site. I think you are not using linux very often. If this is the case, rather than panicking when the vps goes upside down, just have a small partition running a minimal install of your favorite distro and try building it up to a nice desktop that you can use. Think of it as a backup. In case windows go bottoms up how can i use linux to complete the majority of my work reducing down time.

Now if you need help with something like that, I am all ears, bur as have been said on this site, sadly all to often, please show what you tried then we can assist.

This site is best used as a learning tool, not vendor support. For that there is redhat, oracle, suse et al.
