linux - Ubunutu - .ssh folder exists but I cannot see it? only through terminal -

when go terminals , use $ cd ~/.ssh able enter directory, proves exists. however, when use other file browser, cannot find .ssh folder!

why happening?? desperately need access .ssh perhaps invisible? can me

(ubuntu 14.04)

any files or directories start dot hidden. cannot seen file browser. open terminal ,

ls -a 

now see .ssh directory listed. make sure using ls -a command in right home directory. if able cd ~ssh 1 user use ls -a command in user's home directory.

if want see files in file browser create directory without starting dot , copy contents .ssh directory new directory have created.

sudo mkdir /home/user_name/sshfolder sudo cp /home/user_name/.ssh/* /home/user_name/sshfolder/ 

now open file system browser , verify contents. hope helpful.
