Hi, I recently installed Sickbeard and Sabnzb and tried to direct my downloads to a folder :
/d/Series/1.HD en DVD series/1.Nieuwe afleveringen but I accidently typed a dot in the line right here /d/.Series

The problem is that I cannot locate the folder anyware wich I not really a big problem itself but there's already some stuff downloaded to that folder wich I want to relocate, is there some 3rd party software that I need to install to browse hidden folders ?

No one ?

It is a hidden folder.

Are you running Windows or Mac? No need for 3rd party software. A setting change would enable you to see hidden folders. If you know the path of a hidden share you can browse to it manually even without a settings change.

Thanks for your reply, I am on Win7, and the folder is probably hidden, but when browsing to it or copieing the path name in my browser I cannot get in.
What setting can I try to change ?

In windows explorer, select "folder options" under "tools". Click on the "view tab" and select "show hidden files, folders, and drives".

Lol I always have that on, that doesnt show my folders, I need to see my folders like this :

It's some subfolders below the D

My nas names the 2 drives c and d but how do I describe this in the explorer..... when I acces the NAS I only see the 3 shares created by default by the NAS

So you are not connecting through Windows Explorer? Since this is a one-time adjustment, I am not sure why you "need" to see your folders any particular way.

This screenshot was made in Sickbeard, since that is the only way I know of to see all folders (but that way I can't see any content or change/delete stuff, I don't mind another view as long as I'm able to change/delete stuff

The normal way would be to access folders with windows explorer (not to be confused with internet explorer).

If you are set up to show hidden files in explorer, then entering \\nasname\.Series in the explorer address bar should should you the folder contents (using your real nas name of course). If you get a password prompt, you can use your NAS admin credentials.

If you are have 4.x.x firmware (e.g. not an v2) then if you use the admin logon you can also enter \\nasname\c or \\nasname\d - which will allow you to browse all the folders on the volume.

That's exactly what i tried, not only with the C and D but the other folders also, I can only acces the folders that are " shared by default". Also put the dollar $ sign after the adres.
Also tried this with IP (instead of NAS name)
Isnt there some mode/ applications to browse shared and "system hidden files" ?

There must be a way since I can browse these folders with sickbeard without a problem

The $ won't help, that is a windows convention for administrative shares.

If you can see D in explorer but can't see .Series perhaps you don't really have explorer set to show hidden files?

Another option is to go in with SSH and fix the name from the linux command line, though if you aren't comfortable with Linux you could do some real damage. You could try opening a support case.

Like I said I don't see C or D at all, as soon as a acces the NAS I see my standard shared folders, there Is no way I can see which folder is on the C or the D drive.... I'll try to use linux to acces the " hidden folders" although I still find it strange that I can browse all folders from a program like sickbeard...... :roll:

but no one knows a more simple solution other than linux and SSH

Thanks for the help anyway.

Do you have a V1 or a V2?

by **Rufus666** » Thu May 03, 2012 12:10 am

It's the V1
