I have a remote virtual macgine that runs Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS. I installed on that remote machine vsftpd
. Therefore I can access folders on that remote machine through FTP.
My goal is to make my life simpler so on my Windows 8 machine (local), I created a new network location in the Windows Explorer. To be specific, while on “This PC,” I right-clicked -> add a network location, and typed the URL ftp://RemoteUbuntuServerDomain.org
. I was indeed able to view the files the way I wanted but I cannot see the hidden file; files starting with a dot.
For example .ssh
on my home folder or .git
/.gitignore
on my git folders. Can I somehow view those files? The “view hidden files and folders” option from Windows explorer is already enabled.
