How to see invisible files

How do you see invisible files on the romote side of the site
window? I've got some .htaccess files, which are supposedly
invisible on the Mac system, though they're visible on my local
site window. If I upload them, I can see them until I quit
Dreamweaver, then I can't see them. These files control access to a
site and if I can't see them I can['t delete them. So now I'm
locked out of my site.

What DW version are you using?

  • How to delete invisible file created by iPhoto

    I use MacBook and keep my iPhoto library on external hard drive. External disk got disconnected accidentally and I was requested to import the library again.
    I imported library from my external drive but the file created by iPhoto is not visible and I cannot find it either in folder Pictures or using Spotlight. However, I can see that available space on my MacBook hard drive is reduced for 10GB, which is actually the size of my iPhoto library.
    Any suggestion how to find invisible file created by iPhoto and delete it from the hard disk on my computer? Many thanks for your help.

    Do a Spotlight search for "Library6.iPhoto" on your boot drive and that will tell you where the iPhoto LIbrary is hiding.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • How to see hidden files

    How do I see hidden files? I need to edit some so that I can change some values in lyx, but I can't seem to find out how to see them.
    TIA

    If they are just text files, download TextWrangler which is a great free text editor, and it has an "Open Hidden…" option. Additionally, It will allow you to "unlock" system files, make modifications, and save using an admin username and password.

  • How to see the  file transfer speed on a mac

    Hi, I'm kind of a beginner with a Mac, I have worked on windows for all this years and now I have a small dilema. Can someone please tell me how you can see the file transferring speed on a mac. When you copy and paste from one drive to another, or from time capsule to my mac, etc a dialog appears showing you a progress bar and the time remaining. I would also like to see the speed of the transfer. Is it posible to see this variable?

    In windows - vista when you copy or paste a folder from one location to another in the file transfer pop-up you can see the speed of the transfer.(You must press the more details arrow on that pop-up). Does Leopard has any configuration for this kind of information.
    I will try iGet and write here my feedback.

  • PSE9 Organizer - How to see all files in Folder view?

    In v8, there is a tab under Edit/Preferences named "Folder Location View" that allowed one to select either to see all files or just those in the folder that is selected.  I can't find this option in PSE9.  Anyone know what happened to it?
    PSE0 defaults to seeing only those files in the selected folder, which is normally my preference as well, except when I am doing certain things and then I really need to see all files in all folders.
    For example, I need/want to write my tags to the file meta data in all of my files, but I have to go to each folder individually to do this and then I can only do it on that individual folder.  I really would like to be able to select all of my files and fire it off (yes, I know that would take forever, but I could go do something else while it is processing.)
    This is the second reason that upgrading to PSE9 is really downgrading.  One shouldn't lose functionality that has existed in several (all?) previous versions!
    Hopefully, this setting has just moved and I can't find it.  If not, Adobe, please add it back in ASAP!!
    Thanks,
    ...Rich

    Oh, I forgot to comment on the ability to create an album instantly by folder name.
    That really seems like a pretty useless "feature" for all but the most challenged user.
    All you need to do without the feature is select all photos in a folder (ctrl a) and then drag them to the folder name.  That just doesn't seem to be all that difficult.
    Thanks again.

  • How to see open files on server

    I want to be able to see which files that are open on my server by my users. Is there a tool or utility to see this?
    Ive tried lsof but i find that not usable.

    The AFP Service log can show access to files, however the way entries are logged makes it practically impossible without huge effort to track down which user was responsible.

  • How to see which files are open on shares

    Im fairly new to OS X Server. Am running OS X Server 10.6.8
    How can i see files that are open through AFP or SMB? I've tried the command lsof but that doesnt seem to show open files through network.

    Try smbstatus.
    To pin down exactly which files are locked for use, try:
    smbstatus | grep -i deny_write
    For AFP, I'm not sure exactly how it's done -- there isn't an afpstatus command, so I'm a bit in the dark. However, you could probably use a combination of lsof and grep to find any objects of type REG and owned by applefile.
    Maybe this:
    sudo lsof | grep -i "^applefile" | grep REG
    But that will return everything in use by the AppleFile service. From there, though, one may need to be familiar with what shares are on the system to further deduce what's open. For example, I get 10 lines returned, but only one of them contains a known share name (/Users/username/path/to/file), the rest are system directories (/System, /private, /usr, /Library and the like).
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • How to see deleted files or restore them on another volume

    Hi,
    an accident happened as follows:
    I wanted to unzip a file with BetterZip. It said there exists another file with the same name.
    I answered it's question if I want to replace or unzip this file to another place just with replace.
    But the result was that the whole content of the folder where the file should be extracted to, was deleted by BetterZip.
    I don't know why ??
    The volume on which that happened is not my start / system volume, it's a separate volume only with data.
    1.) Exists a way to see a list of the files which were deleted ? (Because I don't know if there was something really important inside.)
    2.) Is there a terminal command or another method to get these files back to that folder ?
    Thanks.

    Thank you.
    I tried to search in that invisible folder of that volume (.Trashes / 501) hoping to find
    some the accidently erased things.
    But it seemed to be empty.
    Ok, it happened. Up to now I don't remember something really important.
    And yes, I have a backup of that volume, but I update it manually from time to time with CarbonCopyCloner.
    Just after I thought I want to update the volume this accident happened.
    Regards.

  • How to see full file path in DW find/replace results

    I've been looking for a solution to this for a while now.
    I've also seen many questions about this on other forums but no
    real answers.
    The problem is this: when I use the DW8 find feature to
    search for something across an entire site (or an entire folder not
    in a defined site) all the files in which the pattern was found get
    listed with only the filename and the name of that file's immediate
    parent folder. I can't see the full path to the file.
    Now of course, if I only get a few matches, I can open up all
    the files one at a time and see the full path in the DW window
    title. However, that gets pretty restrictive if I get lots of
    results.
    For example, I searched for something like "model2_header_"
    in the source code for one of my sites.
    over 6000 files contained a match for that pattern.
    I ain't about to open 6000 files just to know where they are
    in the site.
    As a specific example, one of those files was located 6
    subfolders down:
    [siteRoot]\ab-dga\tools\guides\tpd-dpc\ov-oev\ccrfta-aleccr\filename.html
    But in the DW search results, it was listed as:
    ccrfta-aleccr\filename.html [...matched text here...]
    That makes it really hard to find that file.
    I still use HomeSite sometimes and I get the full path in
    search results there so it's really frustrating that DW doesn't
    provide that information as well.
    Please, someone, let me know that there is hope. Find me a
    solution (and please don't just give me the last two words of it...
    Thanks.

    Hm, I wonder if it's something they may have enabled only for the Cloud version (I have 13.1.2).  If so, I didn't notice the change at the time of the upgrade.
    Nope, it's not that - I have a virtual machine for testing with 13.0.1 installed...  This is what I see there:

  • How to see document file name with full path when hovering mouse over title bar?

    Using PS CS6, Windows 7 x64.
    I was under the impression that when hovering my mouse over the document title bar, I would see a tooltip showing the full file name, including the path.  This isn't happening and I'm wondering if there is a way to do this.  I know I can click File > Save As, or Ctrl+Shift-S to see the full path, but hoving over the title bar would be easier.  (What I am seeing now in the tooltip is the file name, % magnification and which layer I have selected.  Basically, the tooltip is just showing what's in the title bar without hovering.)
    Thank you!
