+= How do I see hidden files/files that begin with a period? =
+
+On most linux and unix based servers (like we have at May First/People Link), files that begin with a period are hidden from view by default.
+
+If you want to see these files, you need to take an extra step.
+
+== Secure FTP ==
+
+If you are using WinSCP, check "Show hidden files" in the Environment -> Panels section (see [http://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_pref_panels here]).
+
+If you are using Fugu, select SFTP → Show Hidden Files. 
+
+If you are using Cyberduck, select View > Show Hidden Files.
+
+== Secure Shell ==
+
+In secure shell, add the -a argument to the ls command:
+
+{{{
+ls -a
+}}}
