.htaccess not synchronized
« on: October 30, 2009, 10:59:48 PM »
Thank you for this cool FTP software. Will surely purchase it.

I have enabled the 2 preferences to list hidden files on Mac and Server.

When I synchronized to update the server, .htaccess file is not shown on the "Preview". The server clearly does not have a .htaccess file.

.htaccess file is not transferred to server. I had to manually transfer the file.

Is this by design?

You need to enable 'Include invisible items in transfers' in the Transfers panel of the Preferences.

There are so many hidden files in OS X that it made sense to not transfer them by default. I know .htaccess is a special file, and it could be argued that this should be a special case, but I'm sure there would be other special cases and it would make the behavior inconsistent.
