Hidden files remote directory

Q: Using WinSCP and don’t see the files beginning with dot (hidden files) like .htaccess?

Answer:
WinSCP comes with a configuration setting that allows you to show or hide the hidden files. To view the hidden files, activate the setting by going to:
Options > Preferences > Panels

Select the “Show hidden files” option under the common settings and click the “OK” button.

Alternatively, you can the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+H

Remote Panel has changed

On WinSCP startup/connection panel, I clicked on:
Tools > Preferences > Panels > Remote
And the checkbox mentioned above by @tarrob does not exist (perhaps I'm using a newer version? 5.11.2).

However, I connected to the server and on the bottom of the remote panel itself I just noticed there's information about the number of hidden files.
I clicked on this text and the files showed up! :D

Hope it helps.

Hidden files remote directory

I recently had to reinstall my program. After doing so I cannot see hidden files in the remote directory. (In my specific case the file is the .htaccess file). It is not in the list

What do I need to change in order to see that hidden file in the listing?

Using 5.9.4.
