Virtual Media does not display "hidden" files

Virtual Media is hiding files that start with a .

So when I export my config files to the Virtual Media from a Windows Machine then unmount it, I can't see the files until I remount the Virtual Media and rename the files and change the first character to something other than .

So all the following style of files are hidden and can not be downloaded from the webgui:
.config
.DS_Store
.env

etc.

This is annoying because when I drag and drop configs, I am not expecting them to not appear in the download section. I don't want to rename all the files every time I move over a file.

Since Windows, macOS, or other systems will try to stuff some junk files into this virtual USB drive, once I show hidden files, you'll see a bunch of hidden files created by the system. I think that's a terrible experience, so I disabled the display of hidden files.

could yall add a toggle for "show hidden files" or something next to the "mount to remote"? It can be off by default, but it would give the user more freedom to see the files they are moving over.
