Problems with SFTP plugin: how to hide the unix hidden files

[mtcforum]

I have a problem when I use SFTP plugin in TC. Does any one know how to hide the files begin with "."? Because when I connected to a solaris workstation, lots of hidden files/dirs in my home directory such as .acrobat, .adobe, .desktop, .bashrc... displayed in my TC. That made me difficult to find the files I really want.

Thank you in adance.

I dont know how to hide those files, but you can filter the view with Ctrl+F12:

Code: Select all

|.*

Thank you.

But It only works with files and but not directories

I don't know the SFTP plugin, so mayby this is way off - but have you tried the standard menu - "Net" -> "FTP Show Hidden Files" toggle ? (cm_FtpHiddenFiles)

No, sadly this does not work this was the first i tried

[mtcforum]

Yes. I also have tried. It does not work.
And I also do not know what it is used for.

In fact, it is just different unix commands:
"ls" for list
"ls -l" for details
"ls -A" for showing hidden files

It is not difficult to resolve, I think.

But I am not sure if it should be fix in TC or in plugins.

Does anyone know in which case the standard menu - "Net" -> "FTP Show Hidden Files" works?

I have never used it.

When you're on a standard FTP server (Ctrl-N or Ctrl-F).

Thanks. But why it does not work on SFTP (secure FTP) server?

Can it be seen as a bug of TC?

[Hacker]

Because SFTP is a plugin and there is no way TC can tell a plugin to "show hidden files". There would need to be an option in the SFTP plugin which you would set through its properties.
