Slightly OT but if anybody can help it would be appreciated.
I can access my NAS box with telnet but the file I am looking for is not in the expected directory. Of course I could go through all the directories using ls -a but that would take days. Is there a command I can run to look for the file for me using the telnet console?

Something like:
find /home/userdir -name 'somefile.pdf'
?

Probably a good idea to use -iname instead of -name in case the case is
not certain. ls has a recursive option too which may be combined with
grep but once it finds something you may still not be able to easily tell
where it is unless you have the directory from one-to-many lines beforehand:
ls -R | grep -i somefile
Probably better to pipe that to less and then search (type the slash
followed by your search string):
ls -R | less
Good luck.

Great and thanks. Very rust on my command line stuff so suggestions will be tried and I shall red up when I have more time.
Thanks again.
