Title: File Search
Post by: Bud on March 01, 2008, 01:14:54 PM

Hi Guys

Still a Noob at Linux  :lol: 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  :P

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
