Dot-files (the ones starting with a dot) not shown in Linux

I tried LANShare on Ubuntu, but I was not able to see dot-files, nor I found an option in the applications settings to make them visible.

Dot files are hidden files in Linux. To see them, type ls -a in terminal or click show hidden files in file manager

I get that thanks ;) Problem is, I cannot see them in LAN-Sharre, hence I cannot copy them.
