Hey all. <br />
<br />
I have a doozy of a problem and cannot figure it out. I have a bunch of mp3 files stored on a Western Digital MyBook World Edition. I want to add them all to an iTunes Library however, a good amount of the files have for some reason have the hidden attribute on them. What I have done this far is this, and to no avail.<br />
<br />
1.) I've SSH'd into the MyBook and chmod -R 777 on the entire directory which is called &quot;ipod&quot;<br />
2:) Changed the owner to match folders and files that are not effected: chown -R www-data:www-data ipod/<br />
3.) chmod -R 755 ipod/<br />
4.) From my winblows xp box: &gt;Command Prompt&gt;cd M:\&gt;attrib -H /S /D ipod<br />
<br />
None of this has worked. I am able to go through windows explorer (windows) and go to a file that is hidden and uncheck hidden and that works, but man I would hate to have to comb through 300+GB of music to do that.<br />
<br />
Also, on my linux desktop it is the same, if I go to that directory on the MyBook I have to force (ctrl-h) nautilis to display the file.<br />
<br />
So with that, anyone have any grand ideas how to fix this? Preferably directly on the MyBook itself via CLI

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.

File Sharing Software
