Find a directory by name
For example, find all directories named 'cache'
find -type d -name cache
find
is the simplest command you can use to find files and folders-type
flag means search only of this type,d
is for directories-name
flag means search for this name,cache
is what i searched for
You can take it a step further by using -exec
to run some action on the directories you found. For example, i can use the command below to find all directories named cache
and set their permissions to 777
find . -type d -name cache -exec chmod 777 {} \;
