FTP files with 3+ signs extension

I am connected over ftp to my Amiga OS on local network and I can't see files corresponding to drawers (like folders in Windows) with *.info extension (e.g.: Tools.info, System.info, etc.). If I change to Tools.inf then I can see it (of course this is not the solution I am looking for :wink: ). For the other hand, I can see files in Libs drawer (folder, directory, name it as you like): datatypes.library, gtlayout.library, etc.

Is there an option under TC I can "switch" on to see them all or it's a bug?

You can try to define a custom server type to parse the listing from the Amiga manually. Just press Alt+Shift+Enter during the connection to get the configuration dialog.

Thank you Christian for you tip. I tried it but it didn't work. However, you made me experiment more and I decided to look closer at the Amiga-server software. Turned out it had in 'List pattern' following data: ~(.#?|#?.info). Removing #?.info restored order in the universe :D
Thank you again for your feedback.

For Amiga users
The ftp-server software I'm using is RC-FTPd 2.74 and for TCP/IP stack Miami Deluxe 1.0c.
