ls which shows path to file

Hi,

Is there any combination of ‘ls’ which will output the full path to the file as well as the file name…

as in

myhost$ls

/the/full/path/to/myfile/file.txt

/jlar

I’ve tried to find this to and usually end up with the following:

for i in ls -1; do echo $PWD/$i; done

Replace $PWD with a path you specify if you want to check a remote
directory, and also modify the ‘ls’ part in that case. For example if I
wanted to check /tmp I’d do the following:

for i in ls -1 /tmp; do echo /tmp/$i; done

Good luck.

Might be easier to just use find.

Recursively from current directory

find $PWD

Only the current directory

find $PWD -maxdepth 1

Recursively from current directory and display only files (will still have full path to file), but omits results that’s just a directory

find $PWD -type f

Optionaly you can replace $PWD with an absolute directory.
