find ./source_dir -name *.png | xargs cp --target-directory=./destination_dir
find ./source_dir -name *.png | xargs cp --target-directory=./destination_dir
This will work incorrectly if there are any filenames containing newlines, single or double quotes, or spaces.


Code:
find ./source_dir -name \*.png -print0 | xargs -0 cp -t path/to/destination

Code:
find ./source_dir -name \*.png -exec cp -t path/to/destination '{}' +

find location comparison-criteria search-term


1. List all files in current and sub directories
find
find .

2. Search specific directory or path
find ./test
find ./test -name "abc.txt"
find ./test -name "*.php"
find ./test -iname "*.Php"  (case insensitive)

3. Limit depth of directory traversal
find ./test -maxdepth 2 -name "*.php"

4. Invert match
find ./test -not -name "*.php"

5. Combine multiple search criterias
find ./test -name 'abc*' ! -name '*.php'

6. OR operator
find -name '*.php' -o -name '*.txt'

7. Search only files or only directories
find ./test -name abc*
find ./test -type f -name "abc*"
find ./test -type d -name "abc*"

8. Search multiple directories together
find ./test ./dir2 -type f -name "abc*"

9. Find hidden files
find ~ -type f -name ".*"

10. Find files with certain permissions
find . -type f -perm 0664
find . -type f ! -perm 0777 (inversion, not)


10. Find files with sgid/suid bits set
find / -perm 2644
find / -maxdepth 2 -perm /u=s 2>/dev/null

11. Find readonly files
find /etc -maxdepth 1 -perm /u=r

12. Find executable files
find /bin -maxdepth 2 -perm /a=x

13. Find files owned to particular user
find . -user bob
find . -user bob -name '*.php'

14. Search files belonging to group
find /var/www -group developer

14. Search home directory
find ~ -name "hidden.php"


15. Find files modified N days back
find / -mtime 50

16. Find files accessed in last N days
find / -atime 50

17. Find files modified in a range of days
find / -mtime +50 –mtime -100

18. Find files changed in last N minutes.
find /home/bob -cmin -60

19. Files modified in last hour
find / -mmin -60

20. Find Accessed Files in Last 1 Hour
find / -amin -60

21. Find files of given size
find / -size 50M

22. Find files in a size range
find / -size +50M -size -100M

Find largest and smallest files
find . -type f -exec ls -s {} \; | sort -n -r | head -5
find . -type f -exec ls -s {} \; | sort -n | head -5


Find empty files and directories
find /tmp -type f -empty
find ~/ -type d -empty

25. List out the found files
find . -exec ls -ld {} \;

26. Delete all matching files or directories
find /tmp -type f -name "*.txt" -exec rm -f {} \;
find /home/bob/dir -type f -name *.log -size +10M -exec rm -f {} \; (with size)
