LISTING FILES BY SIZE


If you want to have a listing of the 
files sorted by size, you can use the 
following command(s), it will list 
the files in decrease order. if you 
need to do the same thing recursively,
you could use the second one.

ls -l | grep ^- | sort -nr -k 5 | more

ls -lR | grep ^- | sort -nr -k 5 | more
