Sad to say, two and a half years later, this is still a problem. Thanks for revealing the mystery.

Thank you. I had the same problem! I am managing 2 companies, I am not stupid (I think…) but I really felt stupid as I never though it would be in the View menu ! Fortunately, I know how to use Google and I found your article immediately

What would be really nice is to have invisible files viewable in the favorites config option , so when I click on the key to import I could actually see .ssh

[...] Mac OS X Finder. Many applications won’t see the folder either, but various FTP programs like Transmit have the option to show invisible files and the folder would be visible to those applications. Likewise, the folder would always be visible [...]

Transmit is great but I have to admit I am confused as to why they don’t show invisible files by default like most FTP clients do.

And FileZilla is terrible in Mac OS X, hardly an alternative to anything.

@Chromeo
FileZilla is OK as a free alternative, but it has nothing over Transmit, which is by far the best FTP program I have ever come across.

The ability to edit files through Transmit with your preferred editor and then when you save Transmit automatically uploads the file again is a feature I can not live without.

This ignores the fact that FileZilla doesn’t even have a native Mac OSX interface.

or you could just use a free ftp client like FileZilla and not have to deal with these things
