Hi Freeola,
A while back I remember a poster (Neilj99) mentioning some issues with FTP and 'hidden files'.

It came to light that the latest version of Filezilla no longer shows hidden files with Freeola's Standard web servers.

I'm still using Filezilla 3.1.3.1 which does work!

Previously Eccles mentioned he hoped Filezilla would fix the problem. Reading the Filezilla forums the problem often arises. Filezilla's comment is always get the server fixed!

I'm running the latest version of Filezilla on another PC and confirm that even with the "force showing hidden files" option selected it doesn't work.

In one of the more helpful threads this was mentioned as a solution.

I know *nothing* about pure-ftp but thought this was worth a mention in case it's useful as others seem to have had success with it.

Try this with pure-ftpd
echo "yes" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DisplayDotFiles
then restart pure-ftpd



What do you think?

Most definitely, although this is quite a widely known problem now. I was a bit conflicted with this issue, I tend to stand with standards police over anarchists, luckily our FTP server of choice can be forced into standards mode or at least force the files to be shown in this instance.

I use Wise FTP, it was a FREE download and it happily shows hidden files, like .htaccess files etc
