How to find files recursively by file type and copy them to a directory?


linux bash centos

Try this:

find . -name "*.pdf" -type f -exec cp {} ./pdfsfolder \;

linux bash centos

Paul Dardeau answer is perfect, the only thing is, what if all the files inside those folders are not PDF files and you want to grab it all no matter the extension. Well just change it to

find . -name "*.*" -type f -exec cp {} ./pdfsfolder \;

Just to sum up!

linux bash centos

Something like this should work.

ssh user@ip.addr 'find -type f -name "*.pdf" -exec cp {} ./pdfsfolder \;'
