3 pointsdogol4 comments

How s the definitive way for clients have complete list of files, allowable/accessible to them, in a server directory by use of Linux tools used as interprocess one-liner commands

View on HN

find /path -user <username/UID>

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/find.1.html

$ find 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/elkirtasse/files/' -user $USER

find: 'https://sourceforge.net/projects/elkirtasse/files/': No such file or directory

How, what is the real correct answer

find works on your local drives not internet addresses. You’d have to download that project to use find on it.

find /path/to/server/directory -type f -print | grep "$(whoami)"
