Show Hidden Files

For linux to show hidden files when you type ls command

Edit ~/.bashrc

vi /root/.bashrc

Add line

alias ls='ls -la --color'

Save and exit. Now you need to re login to SSH to see the hidden files when you type “ls”

After editing the file will look like

[root@194 ~]# cat /root/.bashrc
# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

alias rm='rm -i'
alias cp='cp -i'
alias mv='mv -i'
alias ls='ls -la --color'

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
        . /etc/bashrc
fi
[root@194 ~]#
