Finder not displaying all files in remote directory

thanks for responding 🙂

Adding a new file to the shared folder results in me being able to see the new file from my clients regardless of where it was added from, however the "hidden" files do not suddenly pop up.

I tried a few more experiments that had interesting results, but still didn't lead me to an answer.

First I tried copying the files from the remote directory to a local directory; I did this in 2 different ways and had different results. Method A) I copied files from the mounted share to a local dir: "cp /Volumes/MyShare/dir/*.JPG .". Method B) I copied the files using secure copy: "scp user@server:/path/to/dir/*.JPG .".

Method A resulted in Finder not being able to see the files in the local directory, while Method B did. This was interesting and lead me to suspect an issue with the way I am sharing the directory on the server. From Server settings I have both afp and smb checked. I tried enabling only one or the other and reconnecting; but this did not fix the problem.

Next I tried exporting the photos from iPhoto again. Exporting them locally results in files that Finder can see. Exporting them to my server results the same bad behavior 😟

Getting desperate, I also tried renaming all of the files from "*.JPG" to "*.jpg" but this didn't help.

One last experiment, I see the same behavior from both another Mac and a PC on my local network... FTP works fine.

Any more ideas?
