When I FTP into my RAQ4i (with nearly all patches applied) - I cannot see any files starting with . in the FTP directory listing. Even if I upload one under FTP - I can't see it listed although it is there.

With SSH I can see them only with the "ls -a" command.

I want to be able to see files starting with . (eg .htaccess) under FTP - how can I enable this?

Also - where can I get SFTP clients (for WinME) - does this require a different FTP server as well?

Thanks

This is because any file that starts with a "." is a hidden file.

What FTP software are you using.

You have to tel your FTP software to view hidden files.

Example in WS_ftp:

There is a white box under "MkDir" on the right hand side

type:
-la

then hit enter

This should now show your hidden files.

I am using ws-ftp - and that worked thanks!

What's strange is that I did not need to do this at my previous shared host site.

Not exactly an intuitive option on WS-FTP though is it!?

No problem, glad to be of help.
