Problem
I have a VPS with Suse Linux 10.3. I've logged in via SSH/putty and am trying to find where my web files are located. Since I'm uploading via FTP in a directory called httpdocs, I assume that this directory exists somewhere. My google searches have taught me to do this, go to my root directory and type: but it says "No such file or directory". How can I find this directory?
Error Output
find httpdocs -type d

Low Risk
It is: the first parameter "/" is where to look, in this case "/" it's the entire system. -name could be -iname to ignore case also -type is not mandatory use : man find for more options
