Files not visible during a file transfer session

Some folders or files stored in the C:\Windows\System32 directory are not visible during a file transfer session.

This problem is caused by the file system redirector which automatically redirects the accesses from %windir%\System32 to %windir%\SysWOW64 for all 32-bit processes running on a 64-bit platform. The problem applies to the Controller and the Target because they are both running as a 32-bit application (the Controller runs on a 32-bit Java Virtual Machine).

This problem is described in the following Microsoft article: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/winprog64/file-system-redirector

Both local and remote files during a file transfer session show the path C:\Windows\System32 while the real path used is C:\Windows\SysWOW64.

As a workaround for this issue, you can access the following hidden folder:

C:\Windows\Sysnative

in order to view the same files and folders structure listed in the command line or displayed in the File Explorer.
