Hidden files in UNIX server

S

Shirley

I need to retrieve/remove files from a remote UNIX server in VBA. I am able
to map this IP address in my Window client PC, and create subfolder/files to
this location. The problem is that all .txt files created by other
applications, which put files to this address, don't show up in the Window
mapped folder. Some folders don't show up, either. Using VBA also failed to
retrieve these files or access those specific folders.

My first thought is that the user name and password don't have an authority
to read those files and spcific folders. But the same username and password
with UNIX application can see them all.

My second thought is that those files are hidden by UNIX server. If so, how
can I view those hidden files in client PC? How to retrieve them in VBA and
remove them after? I also need to send new .txt files to specified hidden
folders in VBA. How to make that happen?

Thank you a lot!

Shirley
