Files invisible on Buffalo network drive

Hi There,

I hope someone can help me. I have recently switched my office computer from a pc to an iMac. When I mount my network drive through the Finder window using the Connect to Server menu option, only some of my files are visible while others are not. I know they are on the drive because I can see them from my PC. Also, if I ftp to the drive through my Safari window I can see all the files. Does anyone know why some of these files are not visible?

Thanks.

I had something similar with a LaCie Ethernet disk.

Following some advice I found on a forum, I think I did a Chflags -R 0 * in the root directory on the drive and it removed the hidden flag (and all other flags) from the files making them visible again.

How did you do this for your drive. The only way I can seem to connect through terminal is by using the ftp command and after that chflags is invalid. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

If you mount the drive you should find it under /Volumes

just cd (change directory) to /Volumes/<yourvolume> and run the command chflags -R 0 *

i.e. what you type in is
cd /Volumes/<yourvolume>
chflags -R 0 *
