How To Show Hidden Files In WinSCP

To view hidden files in WinSCP, follow these steps:

1. Open WinSCP and connect to your server.
2. Access Preferences:
   • In the session window, click on the Options menu.
   • Select Preferences.
3. Enable Hidden Files:
   • In the Preferences dialog, click on the Panels section (on the left).
   • Under the File Panels settings, check the box for “Show hidden files”.
   Alternatively, you can toggle the visibility of hidden files directly:
   • In the file panel, click Ctrl+Alt+H (shortcut to show or hide hidden files).
4. Save Settings:
   • Click OK to save your preferences.

After completing these steps, hidden files (e.g., files starting with . like .htaccess or .gitignore) should now be visible in the file browser.
