Syncthing does not sync files with names started with a dot.

Syncthing does not sync files with names started with a dot. I do not have ignore patterns for the folder.

The sync works fine by itself (all other files are syncing well).

Questions:

  • Is it a bug or a feature? I did not find such information in the documentation.

  • If it is not a bug, how can I force Syncthing to sync my “.filename_started_with_a_dot.txt” files? Any workarounds?

Syncthing doesn’t care about dots at the beginning of your filenames, i.e. it syncs them like any other file (just confirmed it does for me). Are you sure it isn’t there - many file managers hide dotfiles by default.

Oh, sorry. I feel stupid now :sweat_smile:

Solved.
