Ubuntu: Find number of files in folder and sub folders? Question: I want to find the total count of the number of files under a folder and all its sub folders. Solutions Sample (Please watch the whole video to see all solutions, in order of how many people found them helpful): == This solution helped 10 people == The fastest and easiest way, is to use tree. Its speed is limited by your output terminal, so if you pipe the result to tail -1, you'll get immediate result. You can also control to what directory level you like the results, using the -L option. For colorized output, use -C. For example: $ tree share/some/directory/ | tail -1 558 directories, 853 files $ tree -L 2 share/some/directory/ | tail -1 120 directories, 3 files If it's not already there, you can get it ftp://mama.indstate.edu/linux/tree/. == This solution helped 11 people == To count files (even files without an extension) at the root of the current directory, use: ls l | grep ^ | wc -l To count files (even files without an extension) recursively from the root of the current directory, use: ls lR | grep ^ | wc -l == This solution helped 197 people == May be something like find . -type f | wc -l would do the trick. Try the command from the parent folder. == This solution helped 1 person == find seems to be quicker than tree so I used below to count files in each directory of the current working directory (ignoring files in CWD) with allowing directories to have spaces: ls -d */ | while read dir_line do echo -n "$dir_line :" find "$dir_line" -type f | wc -l done == This solution helped 25 people == Use the tree command. You might need to install the tree package. It will list all the files and folders under the given folder and list a summary at the end. == This solution helped 2 people == Use this command for each folder in the path for D in *; do echo $D; find $D -type f| wc -l; done With thanks & praise to God!
