To find all *.c file belongs to a group called “ftpusers” in /data/project directory, run:
# find /data/project -group ftpusers -name "*.c"
OR do case insensitive search:
# find /data/project -group ftpusers -iname "*.c" Find file owned by user
The syntax is: find directory-location -user {username} -name {file-name}
Where,
- directory-location : Locate files or directories in this directory location.
- -user { user-name } : Find the file belongs to user.
- -name {file-name} : File name or pattern.
In this example, locate or find all file belongs to a user called “vivek” in /var directory:
