Can't view the file list from mount path

[juno2]

I export the path from hostA , the file /etc/exports is
"/tmp/edp hostB(rw,sync)"

, now the hostB is successfully mount to hostA,
however, the hostB can read the file content of all files under /tmp/edp , but can't view the file list by the command "ll or ls" , can suggest what is the problem in my system ? thx.

I might misunderstand you here.

How did you view the file contents without being able to see the files? did you just know the names of them?

If so, I would guess you don't have read permission on the directory edp. Possibly because the user id on hostA is different than on hostB whihc would make who has read access different on HostB.
