Find file on server, searching thru many folders

Hi all,

Is it possible to find a file on a server without knowing the file path? And when the file is found is it possible to find out the file path?

I would like to find a file by typing: find server/ -name "filename"
Instead of: find server/folder1/folder2/folder3/ -name "filename"

Can someone help me?

thanks
