Especially if you are working on the server operating system without a Desktop interface. There are several ways to search files and directories in Linux. The simple and easiest way is to use the Linux terminal to search or locate files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The find and locate are the most popular command-line tool used to search files and directories in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosehosting.com\/linux-vps-hosting\/\">Linux<\/a>. The find command allows you to search for files and directories based on an expression. This way you can search files and directories based on their size, date, type, and ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this post, we will show you how to search files on the Linux terminal using the find and locate commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A Linux VPS with root access enabled, or a user with sudo privileges.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Log in and Update Packages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we\u2019re going to need to log into our server using SSH. You can do that by entering this command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">ssh root@IP_Address -p Port_Number<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to replace <code>root<\/code> with your username if you are not using the root user. Change <code>IP_Address<\/code> and <code>Port_Number<\/code> according to your server\u2019s IP address and SSH port number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are logged in, you should update all of your packages to their latest available versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">apt-get update -y\napt-get upgrade -y<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the packages are up-to-date, restart your server to apply the configuration changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search Files by Name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The find command allows you to search a specific file by its name. You can use the find command with -name option followed by the file name that you want to search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to search a file named <code>file1.txt<\/code> in the <code>\/etc<\/code> directory, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">find \/etc -type f -name file1.txt<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to ignore the case during the file search, use the <code>-i<\/code> option as shown below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">find \/etc -type f -iname file1.txt<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the following option if you want to search for a specific file type:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>f \u2013 regular file<\/li><li>d \u2013 directory<\/li><li>l \u2013 symbolic link<\/li><li>c \u2013 character devices<\/li><li>b \u2013 block devices<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search Files by Extension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the asterisk <code>*<\/code> symbol before any extension to find all files that end with specific extensions including, .txt, .png, .pdf, .mp4, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to search all files with extensions <code>.png<\/code> in the <code>\/opt<\/code> directory, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">find \/opt -type f -name '*.png'<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This command will search all <code>PNG<\/code> files located inside <code>\/opt<\/code> directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search Files by Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can search a file based on their size using the <code>-size<\/code> option followed by size criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to search all files less than 2 MB inside <code>\/home<\/code> directory, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">find \/home -type f -size -2M<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the <code>+<\/code> symbol before the size if you want to search files greater than <code>2 MB<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">find \/home -type f +size -2M<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also specify the size range during the file search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to search all files between <code>2 MB<\/code> and <code>10 MB<\/code>, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">find \/home -type f -size +2M -size 10M<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Use the following options to specify the size in KB, MB, GB, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>c \u2013 bytes<\/li><li>k \u2013 Kilobytes<\/li><li>M \u2013 Megabytes<\/li><li>G \u2013 Gigabytes<\/li><li>b \u2013 512-byte<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search Files by Modification Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The find command can search a file based on its modification, access, and change time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to search PHP files inside <code>\/home<\/code> directory that have been modified in the last <code>10<\/code> days, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">find \/home -name \"*.php\" -mtime 10<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the + symbol if you want to find all files that have been modified more than 10 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">find \/home -name \"*.php\" -mtime +10<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search Files by Permissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use the find command with the <code>-perm<\/code> option to search a file based on their permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to search all files inside the <code>\/etc<\/code> directory with permissions of exactly <code>764<\/code>, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">find \/etc -perm 764<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Search Files Using the Locate Command<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The locate is another command-line tool that allows you to search for a file in Linux. The locate command is much faster than other tools because it uses a database file to perform the search instead of searching your local hard disks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, to search a file named <code>rc.local<\/code>, run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">locate rc.local<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to count the number of search keywords is matched, use the <code>-c<\/code> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">locate -c rc.local<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above post, we explained how to search for a file using the find and locate command in Linux. I hope you have now enough understanding of how to search a file in your Linux system using the terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>PS.<\/strong> If you liked this post, on how to search files on the Linux terminal, please share it with your friends on the social networks using the buttons on the left or simply leave a reply below.
