Creating files/folders starting with a . period

Hi.

How does one work around the ViceVersaPro file/folder copy where the file/folder starts with a . (period, dot)?

The sync fails to copy/create a file or folder with a . in front of it.

Thank you.

Hi, ViceVersa can copy files and folders starting with a dot, but what you are seeing might be a limitation of the underlying file system. For example, a NAS might have this limitation. NTFS to NTFS there's no issue copying files and folders starting with a dot.
