Re: [Alex] get recursive count of files/directories from shell In reply to
Thanks, Alex. Actually, I think it was working, but I was forgetting about some directory mapping on the server. With that in mind, I used:

find . -follow | wc -l

The only problem with that is that some symlinks resulted in double counting...

But I think I've got the basic concept figured out anyway.

Thanks for your help.
