How to hide Windows hidden files in Linux

Beauford-2 · 02-25-2007, 09:40 PM

Is there a way not to show hidden Windows files when I connect to a Windows share from Linux.

i.e - if I connect to D:\Share I don't want to see the Recyle folder, or the System Volume folder, etc.

Thanks

You can create a file called '.hidden' (dot hidden) in the directory where you want to hide files and add the names of the files you want to hide to it. Aside from that, I'm not aware of any way to automatically map the Windows hidden attribute on a file to a '.xxx' file naming (hidden on Linux/Unix).
