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.

    Are you depicting me as a victim of brainwashing? You do not know me, so please refrain from making stupid remarks.

     

    Have you ever answered questions that I have posed to you? E.g. Show me one website that you have created for a client.

     

    So, please stop asking irrelevant qustions.


    I don't see whats irrelevant about asking you to provide some proof based on the information l provided which you suggested l was incorrect about...............OK so i knew it was going to be impossible for you to do. so.........to prove my points, you obviously can't prove yours. Thanks for the confirmation.

     

    Maybe you should think  before virtually inferring someone is a liar, that's not very friendly either, so you should expect a response to reflect that in reference to implying you seem to be in denial, at least over protective, blinkered, call it what you want.

     

    For anyone else sitting on the fence just go to stack overflow and search for Wappler, how many results come up compared to if you search for Vue, or React etc, it says a lot and proves all the points l made. Just go to their web development poll for 2022 and see what is considered the most popular main stream js frameworks and most popular of editors used by developers..........well l rest my case.

    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.
