    If any one knows the command for ssh to find a file on the server using the file name please post it.

    Thanks in advance.

    find /home/username/ -name filename.ext

    *finds the file 'filename.ext' in the /home/username/ directory


    or try the command 'locate'

    Anyone know how to paginate search results with the find command? Or navigate the output to see passed pages?

    Do you mean if you have more results than you can see through SSH? I'm not so sure what you mean, but if I'm correct you can output the command to a text file:
    Then open up the results.txt file in a text editor. Please correct me if this isn't what you were looking for!

    To paginate results use a pipe to either more or less

    find /directorytosearch -name filename.ext | more
    or
    find /directorytosearch -name filename.ext | less
