Linux, command line for search and replace (recursive)

Hi,

I am trying to find a way, from a linux command line, to replace all occurrences of a string by another string, in all files in a folder and its subfolders.

So I have the folder : "/home/somepath/" and would like to replace the string "/conf/server1/" by "/conf/server2/" in all files and sub folders.

I think it would be a mix of the command "find" and "sed", but I have some difficulties to figure it out correctly.

Thanks in advance,
