title: Getting stat (ls or cp) of hidden files
body: <p>I have a folder with a <code>.tmux.conf</code> file under source control, and I would like to copy that file over to <code>~</code>. Here is an <code>ls</code> of that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ubuntu@ip-172-180:~$ ls -alh .vim/others
  total 12K
  drwxrwxr-x 2 ubuntu ubuntu 4.0K May  2 19:05 .
  drwxrwxr-x 6 ubuntu ubuntu 4.0K May  2 19:05 ..
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 ubuntu ubuntu  706 May  2 19:05 .tmux.conf
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when I do <code>ls</code> on that directory, I get nothing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ubuntu@ip-172-30-1-180:~$ ls .vim/others/*
  ls: cannot access '.vim/others/*': No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Same with <code>cp</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ubuntu@ip-172-30-1-180:~$ cp .vim/others/* .
  cp: cannot stat '.vim/others/*': No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there some additional parameter I have to add when copying over dot files?</p>
