How to find a hidden file?

  • 772

Somewhere on my 10T NAS devise is a file named exactly .avi.

I have tried find, locate and ls. All return either all files ending with extension .avi or nothing at all.

How can I find it explicitly?

command-line

    Put what you need to find inside double quotes

    sudo find / -name ".avi" -print

    (sudo if you want to search the whole disk).
