Hidden Directories using SFTP with version 4.0

You can’t type them in! If I am connected to a linux/unix box and I go to

/home/oracle

no problem

if I type in

/home/oracle/.ssh as soon as I type the . I get

An error occurred while executing the action ‘Change Directory’. No such file; No such directory. Do you want to reconnect?

However if I cut and past from the clipboard the full directory with the .ssh I can then browse to that directory.

So manually typing the . in the address bar doesn’t work right!

Hi Jason!

Thanks for reporting this bug. The next release will have that fixed.

Hi Stephan,

Any updates on an eta for this ,

We ran into this independently today and it was a bit of a pain for a moment!

Hi Jo,

can you check the latest beta version:

This release should have this fixed.

Hi Stefan,

The Beta fixes the problem of disconnecting and the error messages, although I still can’t access a hidden directory (starting with a .) by typing it into the path bar at the top, is there a way of looking at hidden folders that I’m missing?

Thanks for your help,

Jo

Did you enable “Show hidden files” in Advanced:

I didn’t - Thanks sorted it.

Thanks again for your amazingly prompt support,

Regards,

Jo

You’re welcome! Glad that helped!

Hi, I have Royal TS version 7 but I don’t see the option “Show hidden files” in Advanced.

Hi Mark,

I’ve just replied to your ticket earlier but will paste the answer here as well:

for Terminal connections, you can view hidden files with the command “ls -a” for instance:

For File Transfer connections, the option can be found in the “Advanced > Miscellaneous” section as shown here:

I hope this helps!

Best regards,

Christoph
