Using the find command on the ftp server [closed]

Solution 1:

There's lftp too. You can perform things like :

lftp [email protected]:/> find . | grep WORD

Solution 2:

While theoretically possible I'm not aware of any ftp-client to support this.

EDIT: As idursun pointed out Total Commander can do it.

It's not possible with regular ftp, but if you have a shell account you can login with ssh or putty and use find.

If you really have only ftp-access you could try to list all directories recursively to a file and then grep.

Solution 3:

Total Commander can do that. Connect to ftp using the built-in ftp client and perform a normal search (Alt+F7) in the ftp tab.
