I’m so baffled I had to ask – why this behaviour?

cd /var/www/html
tar czf ~/package.tgz admin/* api/* mobile/*

I do this, and the resulting package doesn’t include a couple of hidden files – api/.htaccess and admin/.htaccess. However…

cd /var/www/html
tar czf ~/package.tgz *

This time the hidden .htaccess files are there.

Does anybody have enlightenment to offer as to why?

    A quicker way to test this is by using echo

    try echo tar czf ~/package.tgz admin/* api/* mobile/*
