Use a big wrench!
Seriously, though, you shouldn't have to pipe find to ls.
Also, you should use "find .", since it will begin in ".", the current directory.
Check the man page for find. If you wanted a long listing, for example, you could use either of these commands:
find . -exec ls -l {} \;
find . | xargs ls -l
You can also narrow it down to type files, or just directories:
find . -type f -exec ls -l {} \;
find . -type d -exec ls -l {} \;
Hope this helps.
