View hidden files/folders using JSch

I am trying to list all files on a remote system. To do this, I used an sftp channel to that system. JCraft channel sftp provides a Ls method which returns a list of files and folders, but not the hidden files/folder (starting with a ".").

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

  • It appears that you need to use the ls method like so:

    sftp.ls(".*")

    to get the "hidden" files.
