It would be very helpful to have a button or menu option to quickly hide and or show dot files and directories for the remote server.

For server related matters, you should contact your hosting provider.

Hello Nancy,

The function I'm requesting would be a Dreamweaver function. It would be identical to the way cPanel File Manager works, they have a Settings button which brings up this overlay:

As you can see there's an option to "Show Hidden Files (dotfiles)" and this is exactly the function I'm asking to be added to Dreamweaver.

Would you be so kind as to submit my request to the appropriate department.

Thank you.

cPanel is server software.

More importantly, Dreamweaver has been in minimal maintenance status since late 2021. No new features are being added. Use Dreamweaver alongside other web tools that are in active development.

You should be able to see them when Hidden Files are turned on.

Click the fly out menu in the upper right of the Files window (3 bar icon) > View > put a check by Show Hidden Files

Hi Jon,

Thank you for the information. Sorry I forgot to mention I'm on macOS and there is no such menu option.

Hi @Andrew Bajka,

Thanks for writing to us. The option provided by Jon is available on macOS too. Please refer to the below screenshot for enabling the menu option on macOS.

Have a pleasant day!
