Topic: File Search

[Bud]

Hi Guys

Still a Noob at Linux  so please excuse the Questions.

1. How do I in console mode Search for a File on my SME Server?

2. How do I search for a File with specified Text in that file on my SME Server?

3. How do I search for Files with a Particular Extension and Show where those File(s) are Located and in what Directory.

Thanks

You can google for Linux commands

You can also use
man commandname
eg
man find

for additional info when you know a particular command

q to exit
