Linux: How to list all files recursively with path relative to the current path, and do not include current path

You can simply remove the leading "./" by using a pipe with sed:

find . -name "*.txt" |sed s/^\.\\///

How can I recursively find all files in current and subfolders based on wildcard matching?

Recursively list all files in a directory including files in symlink directories

The -L option to ls will accomplish what you want. It dereferences symbolic links.

So your command would be:

ls -LR

You can also accomplish this with

find -follow

The -follow option directs find to follow symbolic links to directories.

On Mac OS X use

find -L

as -follow has been deprecated.

ls command: how can I get a recursive full-path listing, one line per file?

If you really want to use ls, then format its output using awk:

ls -R /path | awk '
/:$/&&f{s=$0;f=0}
/:$/&&!f{sub(/:$/,"");s=$0;f=1;next}
NF&&f{ print s"/"$0 }'
