Viewing Hidden Files (4 posts)

  I cannot seem to find a way to view hidden files in Fetch. I need to modify my .htaccess file but, since it begins with a dot (.) I cannot view it in the first place.

  How do I view *all* files, including what is hidden? Anyone?? :-)

  Thanks!

  Hi,

  Fetch should display the .htaccess file for you. Check the following:

  * Choose Fetch > Preferences.
  * Click the Miscellaneous tab.
  * Make sure "Omit filenames beginning with a period" is unchecked.

  Then reconnect to your server.

  Please let us know if this does not fix the problem. Thanks,

  Scott, thanks for you response. I checked and the "Omit filenames beginning with a period" and found that it was unchecked. I then noticed, however, the "Use 'LIST -al' command to reveal hidden files" was unchecked. I checked it, reconnected to the server and there were my files!

  Thanks for your suggestion. That got me set in the right direction.
