Hidden Files Command

[Rockforduk]

Hi Everyone,
What is the command please to show and hide hidden files by default? System wide command please.

Command to show

Command to hide

As i have allot of .files showing by default and would like to hide them please. I am aware this will also affect the .htaccess but they can do that manually right? Also if i hide the .htaccess file it will not affect any plugins or scripts that use them?

Thanks

Hi,

Please note, when a dot is added in front of any file, it is considered as hidden and not visible with simple ls -l command.

Below command will list all the files and folders inside a directory including hidden directories..
# cd <Directory>
# ls -la

Below command will list all the files and folders inside a directory not the hidden directories..
# cd <Directory>
# ls -l

Hello,

You can adjust the following Pure-FTPd configuration settings:

# List dot-files even when the client doesn't send "-a".
DisplayDotFiles yes

# Users can't delete/write files beginning with a dot ('.')
# even if they own them. If TrustedGID is enabled, this group
# will have access to dot-files, though.
ProhibitDotFilesWrite no

# Prohibit *reading* of files beginning with a dot (.history, .ssh...)
ProhibitDotFilesRead no

An example of how to modify the Pure-FTPd configuration values is available on the document below:

Thank you.
