find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]

try this:

find / ! -mtime -60 -type f | xargs ls -tg > files_list
more files_list

Edit: the above will list most of the files on the system.
If you want to list files in a directory (and subdirectories), then do it this way:

cd directory
find ./ ! -mtime -60 -type f | xargs ls -tg > files_list
more files_list

for first code

find / ! -mtime -60 -type f | xargs ls -tg > files_list
more files_list

give me this errore message
Permission denied

for second code
cd directory
find ./ ! -mtime -60 -type f | xargs ls -tg > files_list
more files_list

give me this errore message
Document: No such file or directory

[pavlo_7]

for first code
... permission denied

you need to run it as root.

for second code
... Document: No such file or directory

I was referring to any directory with files in it.
Try this:

cd
find ./ ! -mtime -60 -type f | xargs ls -tg > files_list
more files_list

P.S. run every line in the code separately.

What is your OS? I just tested it on Debian, and it works fine.

Also, to run it as root, type:

su

and then the rest of the commands.

you can also create a file with the date you are interested in, and then run "find" command to search for files that were created before the date of that file. For example, create file 111 with the date 2007-06-05 00:00 and then run "find" command:

touch 111 -t 200706050000
find ./ ! -newer 111 | xargs ls -tg > files_list
more files_list

Edit: I meant "... search for files that were created no later than the date of that file".
