Try whereis ffmpeg on the command line.

+1 because whereis is cool ( linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_whereis.htm ). Thought ffmpeg needs to be listed as a command in order for it to work isn't it?– marcggDec 29, 2009 at 11:15

3Yes, but
which ffmpegis faster to just find the path of a binary :-)– raphinkDec 29, 2009 at 17:51
If ffmpeg is in the path, use which ffmpeg to find its path.
If it's not in the path, use locate ffmpeg.
The fact that it's a server should not change the path where it is installed if you installed it with packages, so it should probably be in /usr/bin/ffmpeg.
It might be in the bin, etc... It kinda depends where it got installed.
Use the find function to get it for sure.
On a hosted Linux server, it may not even be installed. Probably depends on your hosting package.
But if it is installed, /usr/bin (for the executable) and /usr/lib (for the libraries) would be the first place I'd look.
Also, locate ffmpeg may be a helpful command to try.

try 'locate', 'which', or 'whereis' ... If all fails, then 'find / | grep ffmpeg'
