Invisible file are not shown
« on: November 10, 2006, 04:26:33 PM »
Hi

I use 1.5.2 with "Show invisible items" for a Server browser check on and I don't see those files.
I'm looking for .htaccess specifically. The thing is that Transmit is showing it perfectly.
Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks

Enable the 'Issue LIST -la command' checkbox in the Interface section of the Preferences. It's right below 'Show invisible items'

Thanks, it worked.
What exactly is this  Issue "LIST-la" command?

I knew it would ;)

It's a special command to force a server to show hidden files. Many servers will trip up if the command was sent by default, which is why it's optional.
