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!

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

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
