Just playing with .htaccess
Quick question, can anyone please tell me how to make dot files visible?
If you mean at the console, you use the -a (for all) switch to ls: [adrian@computer]$ ls -a If you want this to be permanent, then you can use an alias: [adrian@computer]$ alias ls="ls -a" On your system ls is probably already aliased to be: ls --color so you could either find where this is and then add the -a switch, or alternatively in your ~/.bashrc file add the line: alias ls="ls -a" (same as the one you type at the command line) If you want a file browser to show dot files, then you probably need to look in the preferences or options menu for the file browser (konqueror, nautilus, mc, etc) Hope that helps, Seb James -- Managing Director, Educational Systems, Hypercube Systems Ltd Providing Open Source ICT solutions for schools.
