Finding big files 1

[hermes1]

I recently found out that my site takes up alot of space. I was wondering if there is a simple command i can use in ssh that shows a listing of the biggest files listed by size so i can see if they are still needed. Thank You

I don't think "ssh" matters, but here's a FIND command thay might prove helpful:

cd /
find . -type f -size +20000 -mtime +30 -exec ls -l {} \; >/tmp/bigfiles

This will create a listing of any file larger that 10MB, which hasn't been modified in the past 30 days. Change those values to suit your needs.
