Hi Jeff,
I'm just getting started at this, too, but here's what I think it is.

ls -R file.php

Where file is your file name.

Also, the R is in upper case.

Here's how I found how to do this.

I went to Google and in the search box, I typed

man ls '

Thanks.

Jim

Subject: Unix Command Help

Hi all,

In Windows/DOS, I would use a command like:

dir index.php /s

To search my hard drive to find all files named index.php.  I am trying to do 
this on my Mac in terminal as I have misplaced my website files which are in 
the terminal - not in the Mac file system.  Not sure why they don't show up in 
the Mac side of things but, can anybody provide me a Unix command to perform 
this type of search?

Thx,
Jeff
