Without a GUI it is very difficult to navigate through the directories and find the files you need. In this tutorial, we will show you how to find a specific file if you are using [Linux VPS][1]. - -The first thing your need to do is to [connect to your Linux VPS via SSH][2]. There are two common ways to search for a file under Linux. The one way is to use the `find` command and the other way is to use the `locate` command. Let’s start with the former. - -### Find command - -The Linux find command allows you to search the directory tree using various search criteria such as name, type, ownership, size etc. This is the basic syntax: - -``` -# find path expression search-term -``` - -Here is a brief example on how to use the Linux find command to find a specific file by its name: - -``` -# find -name test.file -``` - -The command will search the entire directory tree for a file named `test.file` and will provide you with the location. You can try using a name of a file that actually exists on your Linux VPS. - -Sometimes it may take few minutes for the find command to search the entire directory tree, especially if there are many files and directories on your system. To save a significant amount of time you can specify the searching directory. For example, if you know that the `test.file` is somewhere in the `/var` directory, there is no need to search other directories. Therefore, you can use the command below: - -``` -# find /var -name test.file -``` - -There is also an option to search for a file by time, size, ownership, permissions etc. For more information about these options, you can check the Linux find command man page. - -``` -# man find -``` - -### Locate command - -In order to be able to use the Linux `locate` command, you need to install it first. - -If you are using an [Ubuntu VPS][3], run the following commands to install locate: - -``` -# apt-get update -# apt-get install mlocate -``` - -If you are using a [CentOS VPS][4], run the following command to install locate: - -``` -# yum install mlocate -``` - -Locate is a faster option to find a file since it searches for the files in a database. To update the search databases run the following command: - -``` -# updatedb -``` - -To find files with locate, use the following syntax: - -``` -# locate test.file -``` - -Just like with the find command, there are many options to filter the search output. To learn more about this you can check the Linux locate command man page. - -``` -# man locate -``` - -* * * - -Of course, you don’t have to do any of this if you use one of our[ Linux VPS hosting][5] services, in which case you can simply ask our expert Linux admins to help you. They are available 24×7 and will take care of your request immediately. - -PS.
