235Why can't I list any of my UNIX files with names beginning with a dot?
The commands described below need to be entered while logged in to the Unix server. Normally you'll see a prompt ending with $ when the command interpreter (or shell) is ready for another command.
Give the command
ls -all
This shows 'all' files, including the hidden files, that is all files whose names start with a dot.
