Show hidden files in OSX

Just a quick post to show hidden files in Mac OSX. For me this is usefull for using .htaccess files.

Open up terminal and type:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

next:

killall Finder

Now you'll be able to see the hidden files on your system. It will show all hidden files - so if it gets annoying repeat the above and substitute 'TRUE' for 'FALSE'.
