Hidden Files via FTP

[blind-eddie]

I have a couple sites up and running, each has the arcade installed, I have been using it for years without issue.
About a month ago, via FTP, four of my files on one site would not show via FTP but would show via file manager in cpanel, but would show the hidden files on other site via FTP.

Today, I finally get the chance to address this issue.

I call my host to ask for assistance as to why folders show up in file manager but not FTP.
After a long hold I was told it was a permission issue... I told them there was no problem with permissions and both sites running same addon with the same files/folders with the same permissions... only one shows all the files via FTP and one does not.

They said they were running a file permissions program and to wait at least ten minutes and refresh FTP, its been over an hour, files still will not show via FTP.

I use SmartFTP and have been for years, I tried every free FTP program and files will not show on them as well.


Has anyone else ever had this issue, if so, how did you fix it.

FTP:



Cpanel/File Manager:

Have you looked at the owner/permissions to see if there's any difference?

[Zachery]

Who owns the file, and what are the permissions on them?

Well, it seems that all FTP programs are set to allow up to 8000 viewable files/folders in any one directory. I am at 9500 in the arcade directory.

I removed a whole bunch of the .swf files and my files are now showing.

I need figure out how to change the max viewable files via smart ftp and/or figure out how to edit the arcade to automatically move the .swf files to its own directory.
I will have to seek support there now that I figured it was the arcade mod issue.

Often there is a limit (set in the FTP config file on the server) as to how many files display in any one directory. I believe that number is close to 2000. You may need to ask your host to increase this, or you can give this a go, http://www.inmotionhosting.com/suppo...-display-limit
