    I want to list all files (in all subfolders) with xxx.* file name. How do I do that? I found a few files planted by hackers and want to make sure I have deleted all of them.

    I tried this but not working:

    ls -lR xxx.*

    You could use find if you are having no luck with -R.

    cd /home/username/public_html
    find filename.ext

    Yeah, but I have too many folders and subfolders. I need to have something more automated to search all subfolders automatically.

    Suppose that you want to find all files under /home with the extension .cgi you should execute

    Code:
    find /home -name \*\.cgi
