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?

I agree with you, it all seems rather strange to me!
I know Freeola recommend Filezilla, hence the post :¬)
I used to as well, but this has put me off a bit - it's also a good example of why it's not always best to be bleeding edge and download the latest versions of everything!
FYI Here's the older thread where Filezilla try to explain why they say "broken server".

Cheers Hmm. Already aware of the work around, however if a lot of other clients don't have problems with Pure-FTPd then why are Filezilla blaming it on the server software and why do older versions of their program work fine and the newer versions don't. Seems they may have changed something just for the sake of it.
I'll see if I can get ther fx implemented though as apart from this problem Filezilla is our recommended FTP client.
