This question discusses the possibility of a virus setting the show hidden files values to true. Why would a virus do this? I would think it would want to make itself a hidden file then always set show hidden files to false.

Philosophical bit first:
No file is actually hidden.
Hope this helps.
To deal with this is; it only matters if you have a visible symlink to a file inside a hidden folder.

I often use SCP to copy files around - particularly web-related files. The problem is that whenever I do this, I can't get my command to copy hidden files (eg, .htaccess).
I typically invoke this:
scp -rp src/ user@server:dest/
This doesn't copy hidden...

What we do is have a number of different "hidden file checkers" that are registered with a main checker.

Other pattern matches are available ( .??* , .[^.]* ) - see the comments

Open a file "test.cmake" and add the following:
