Directories have "question" marks and files cannot be seen

#1 Post by allsite » 2021-11-09 02:32

I've been using Filezilla most of my adult life. Just recently I've encountered an issue where my directories have a question mark on them and no files as seen anywhere. It's useless in this state.

I can switch from class to another interface layout and upon doing so the issue only persists in some of the frames, making Filezilla somewhat useful but limping along.

I've noticed this across a fresh windows install.

It means the location has not been visited yet in this session.

That makes sense, however I click it and nothing happens, aside from the question mark disappearing. In no way can I view files when it's behaving this way. I can only see directories and have verified that files exist inside them. No way to get to them.

Do you have any "Directory listing filters" (menu View) enabled by accident?
