Filezilla doesnt show htaccess

#1 Post by webrene » 2008-06-17 19:20

Hi.

Before someone crys and wants that i use the search.... i did. And i found how to show up the htaccess file "Menu Server - Force showing hidden files".

But i still have the problem that FileZilla doesnt show the htaccess file. Its not a prob of my pc and not a prob of the server. Cause i can see the file with CuteFTP f.e.

I installed 3.0.11 today. Is this a bug or am i the only one who has problems? And if its like that.. what can i do to fix it?

thx

Enable the raw directory listings (Settings-Debug) and watch closely: Do .htaccess files appear in the raw listings?

When i enable the "Show raw directory listing" i can see the .htaccess in the list.

Response: 150 Here comes the directory listing.
Listing: drwxr-x--- 4 2311 33 4096 Jun 17 21:02 .
Listing: drwxr-xr-x 10 0 0 4096 Jun 18 05:06 ..
Listing: -rw-r--r-- 1 2311 2311 50 Jun 17 21:02 .htaccess

Please post the log again, but inside tags. The reason is: If not inside codetags, this forum 'eats' spaces.

The listing parser doesn't care about consecutive spaces, it treats them as a single one in most cases.

Since the .htaccess appears in the raw listing and is in a format that is well understood by FileZilla, it also appears in the remote file list. Unless there is some filter active. Click filter icon in the toolbar and disable all filters you have ignorantly activated.

If the .htaccess file is not in the "Show raw directory listing" listing, but it IS on your server.. Does that mean our server-adminstrator has fucked up?

I have got the exact same problem... Not showing .htaccess files. Neither does it show up on RAW listing... However, when I use an older version of FZ, it DOES show up! How is this possible.

I'm currently using the last version of F.Z.: 3.2.7.1 which DOESN'T show .htaccess
However an old F.Z. 3.0.11.1 DOES show .htaccess!

And yes, I have turned off all filters and forced the display of hidden files.

Not my server-admin who fucked up after all?

Then why is it only the last version of F.Z. that doesn't show, while that earlier version and other FTP clients do? I'd say F.Z. client issue...

I found that the new version of FZ uses MLSD commant with options -l

While the earlier version uses LS (LIST) command with options -a -l

The -a is necessary to make the server output all files to the client like in LS -a (right?)

MLSD has no arguments other than possibly a pathname, there's no such thing as -l for it.

LIST has also only one argument, a pathname. Strictly speaking, use of -a violates the standard.

Server not showing all files with MLSD -> broken
