Bug description

I was trying to upload an html dump to nextcloud through the desktop client, when I noticed, my .htaccess files didnt upload to my cloud instance. After looking for solutions I found out, that I can edit which files are being ignored. I then deleted all records in the edit ignored files menu, so everything gets synced. Apperently that didnt help, even after restarting the client and my computer. So I assume this to be a bug.

Steps to reproduce

Put a hidden file in the synced Nextcloud folder (files like ".htaccess")
Look at the Sync log which says: "Files from the ignore list as well as symbolic links are not synced"

Expected behavior

I expected the file to just upload to my cloud.

You can enable syncing of hidden files in the client configuration by editing the ignored files list

Hi @thommy51 - .htaccess has special handling server-side. It's blacklisted by default there and not just in the client:

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html#blacklisted-files

Hope that helps.
