How to see the hidden folders in linux

Hello,

I need to see the .mozilla folder, which holds the bookmarks, but I don't see it from kde, how can I watch it?

Thank you and regards

I can't quite remember at the moment what the file-browser is called in KDE, but I think under the View options there is something that allows you to show hidden files.
In linux, files are hidden because the file names start with a period. for example:

.file.txt would not normally be visible.
or, in a terminal, do :

Code:

---

cd

---

to get to your home directory. then,

Code:

---

cd .mozilla
ls

---

to change to that directory and see its contents.

if you want to rename .mozilla/ such that it is visible, do :

Code:

---

mv -i .mozilla/ mozilla

---

Don't forget to change it back to hidden after with:

Code:

---

mv -i mozilla/ .mozilla/

---

Of course, so simply view hidden files and dirs from the terminal, you use:

Code:

---

ls -as

---

cheers

man ls

Code:

---

ls -al

---

That will show hidden directories, if you need to cd into the directory and its in you users root, the command is,

Code:

---

cd ~/.mozzila

---

Thank you both, it worked :D

just in this command

mv -i mozilla/ .mozilla/

for me it worked without the slash, like this

mv -i mozilla/ .mozilla

And the rest was perfect

Regards :)

Uhh... konquerer... Go into "veiw" near the top, then "show hidden files".

wow, superb, I have linux installed since a few days ago, and I didn't notice. Great

Thank you! :)
