List only file names in directories and subdirectories in bash

Question

I need to create a list of files in a directory and all of its subdirectories. I've used

find . -type f

to get the list of files, but I only need the file name, not the path that leads to it.

So instead of returning this:

./temp2/temp3/file3.txt
./temp2/file2.txt
./file.txt

I need to return

file3.txt
file2.txt
file.txt

Answer 1

find . -type f -exec basename {} \;

or better yet:

find . -type f -printf "%f\n"

Answer 2

You can use printf option in gnu find:

find . -type f -printf "%f\n"

For non-gnu find use -execdir and printf:

find . -type f -execdir printf "%s\n" {} +
