Hi Pamela,
Most probably because you're new in this forum, you didn't know that you should "reply" to your own question if you want to clarify something instead of starting a new thread.
No problem, but hitting the "reply" button will help all of us as all relevant info is in the same thread.
Back to your problem:
'ls -lR' will recursively list all directories
dont type 'ls -lR /' as this will take a LONG time ;-)
another way of listing files in a tree is with using 'find', like this:
find /$where_from -type f -exec ll {} \;
note the escaped semicolon, it's needed !
replace $where_from with the top directory name from which you want to search for files.
You can even refine your 'find', using flags like -mtime or -atime for example:
find /$where_from -type f -mtime +7 -exec ll {} \;
will list all files who have been modified more than a week ago.
Have a look at manpage for 'find'. You'll surely discover something in there.
Best regards,
Dan
