PHP files do not show in Filezilla

I’m a recent Windows convert. I post many files using Filezilla. But my index.php does not show up, so I can not transfer it. This is not a problem in Windows and I have to revert to Windows to do it. How can I change this?

I’m using Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS

Thanks, Mike

I’m struggling to understand why you should have this problem. I have no problems whatsoever in Filezilla — I see all files, including index.php and hidden files (dot-files).

The only thing that I can think of is that maybe you have a directory listing filter turned on. Check in View > Directory listing filters.

Thanks for the reply. I’m struggling also. All the html, css, jpg, gif etal files (and ‘.something’ hidden files are there), but the *.php and javascript files are not shown, either in the local or remote panels. I checked the view, as you suggested and nothing is checked. Still looking, Mike

I found it. You have to rack this up being a linux new bee. All my files begin with capitol letters, the files I could not find start with a small letter. Linux doesn’t mix these files and lists the small letter files after the capitols. Sorry for the confusion, I know this, but now it is burnt into my neurons. Thanks, Mike

It’s an easy mistake for a newcomer to make!

I don’t have FileZilla on the machine that I’m using right now, but it might be possible to change the sort options to ignore case.

Yes, there is. Settings —> Interface —> File lists.

I see three options there: Case insensitive, Case sensitive (default), and Natural sort.

Bizarrely, mine always uses natural sort, so matter which option I choose! That’s fine, though, because it’s what I want.
