Windows CLI: Find file with dir /s/b in a specific folder

Question

I'm trying to locate a file and get the whole path of it. For this I wanted to execute the command:

dir "install.log" /s/b 

The problem is, the command only searches inside the current directory and subfolders, but I want to look through the whole drive. Is there any way to specify the search path, like it is done in Linux with find (find /path -name "file")

So you may ask, why do I not simply change directory with cd? I connect remotely via ssh to a Windows machine were copssh is running. The command is always executed in the home directory of copssh.

Answer 1

dir /s /b \install.log 

Just instruct dir command to start from root of current drive, or add drive if needed

dir /s /b x:\install.log
