Search Hosted Files

In UNIX, one can use "grep" command to search for string occurrences
within a file. How can I do this in Windows Server belonging to a
third-party hosting facility? Thanks.

On your own Windows machine, the findstr command-line utility does a
good job of finding strings, like grep. Whether you can do this on a
"third party hosting facility" depends on just what access you have to
their machines, I suppose. I'm used to such places allowing FTP access
to upload files to your web site, and HTTP access, of course, to serve
the web pages. In that case, you're kind of stuck. You can use the FTP
access to download everything to your computer, then use findstr.
