"Hidden" files in folders
Hi,
I really need help on this one. On my shares I have folders containing movies that is accessed through a Boxee Box media player. All movies are played and indexed by Boxee, but when I browse the folders (size is 0kb) through my Mac there is no files within those folders?!
If I try to copy the folder only an empty one is created...
I'm accessing the folders with the same account as used by the Boxee...
Please advice...
Thanks,
Peder

- It seems that the folders affected has accented characters in common, ie ÅÄÖ (Swedish). Problem is that I'm not able to rename the folders due to getting un unexpected error (code -43). The folders are still "empty" but viewed from the Boxee Box fully playable...Any suggestions?
- OK. Solved it by installing SSH and renaming the folders. After that the "hidden" files was shown again.
