By default, the find command parses through sub-directories. What O/S Flavor are you on?


for example...

find . -print

will return a complete file listing for everything from the current directory down...

Note that not all U**X Flavor support the human readable size nomenclature. Try +1000k instead. All find command support sizes of b,c,w and k.
