[SOLVED] Search Filesystem in Terminal

[anothrguitarist]

Is there a way to search for a file using terminal?

[wolfen69]

locate filename

[Monicker]

locate filename

If the file was recently added, you may need to do this first.


sudo updatedb



You can also do



find /dir -name filename


Which will search the dir and all subdirectories. You can start at the root if you want.


find / -name filename
