Hello,
Is there a way to look for a specific file on an FTP server?
It could be under any directory.
Some sort of recursive search is what I am looking for.
In LFTP, "find" does just that. Except, it will just recursively
traverse all directories and display all files. So, you can use find |
grep to narrow down the results.
Also, the find in LFTP has an option called "-d" to restrict the depth
of the subdirectories it enters.
HTH.
