Why does QNap keep changing file attributes to hidden?

[solosier]

I created a new share. Created a user that full access. I put all my web development files over there. But my .htaccess files keep getting set as "Hidden"

My developement program doesnt show hidden files.

Yes, I have "Show hidden" enable in windows explorer, but I dont want to access them in windows.

Every time i right click on the file and uncheck "hidden" it get's reset back to hidden. This is so stupid.

I have all the services (web, ftp, media turned off except windows sharing)

AFAIK, there is no "hidden" flag/tag in Linux.
just a . (dot) at the beginning of the file, as a convention to "hide" the file.
not so stupid

I'm having the same issue. I copied lot of files via ssh from my windows pc to the nas and now all the files are shown as hidden files in the windows explorer. And with windows I'm not able to set the uncheck the hidden flag again!!!

Just found the post with a solution: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=19317&start=0&hilit=hidden+files

Edit /etc/smb.conf:

Code: Select all

map hidde = no

and than restart samba:

Code: Select all

/etc/init.d/smb.sh restart

that's it!
