These two special directories exist in every UNIX system, ‘.’ is a shorthand for ‘this directory’ and ‘..’ is a shorthand for ‘the parent directory’. You can see then in OS X by opening up the Terminal and typing ls -a BBEdit is simply showing what the server says is there. FTP clients can often be set to hide them (GUI clients tend to always hide them because there is no need to ever show them with a GUI of the folder tree accessible). -- Don't be afraid to be weak, Don't be too proud to be strong. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
