I specifically block access to .* files in my httpd server for security reasons. Why are . files now being used?
Hey @stephengraf! Thanks for reporting! Which version of the client are you using? We recently found out there was a regression introduced by the performance improvements made on the exclusion list logic for 2.4. This has been fixed in:
... and is already available on 2.4.0 nightly versions.
If you're using a different client version, as long as you have the "Sync hidden files" disabled, it should indeed not try to sync your dotfiles.
My client version is: Version 2.3.3 (build 8250).
I am working around by blocking only /.htaccess* and /.user*., where before I was blocking /.*.
However, it looks like owncloud is creating syncing a file called ".file" and then moving it when the error occurs.
