Ftp Hidden Files

[section31]

I apoligze if this has been discussed in the past, but I did a search and didn't find what i was looking for.

 

Did something change in the past few months? I can't seem to see any of my hidden files via my ftp client anymore. I'm using smartftp and I have it set to list all files. I even double checked on an different server I own just to make sure the client was setup correctly. I used to see the hidden files a few months ago, i never noticed until recently that they aren't being listed anymore.

 

When I say hidden files i mean files that start with a .

First thing that I would do is verify that the files are really hidden and not missing. From cPanel, use the File Manager to navigate to the files and just verify that they are indeed there.

Yup i checked using the file manager via cpanel and saw them there.

Using CuteFTP, I can see all of mine.

 

SmartFTP huh? Ok, let me try it.

Hmm... I also cannot see the .htaccess file in my directory when using SmartFTP. With CuteFTP all's well. I changed the settings in SmartFTP to that which was recommended by their help site for viewing hidden files, but to no avail. This is using SmartFTP version: 1.0.979

 

What version are you using and have you attempted to contact SmartFTP about this? I would also suggest posting to the forums on their site as well.

 

I'm more inclined to believe this is not a change or issue with the servers because I can view using CuteFTP.

My apologies for the extremely late reply.

 

Well, something is definitely wrong with my account/server or something. Cause I already tried several ftp clients including cuteftp and I can't see any of my hidden files. Once again, i double checked some of my other servers and I can see the hidden files just fine. Its only happening to my account here. Strange, huh.
