[feature request] Invisable files

[Icheb]

Hi,

I had a user today submitting a help ticket by IRC since he was unable to delete certain directory's from his site.

While trying to find the problem i found that there were some files invisable in those directory's.
Like:
`forum/cache/.htaccess'
`phpMyAdmin//.cvsignore'

His FTP client was just unable to see them, so the directory's weren't empty when he tried to delete.

Is it possible to force DA to display them in the file manager & force them to be visable in ProFTPD ?

Only tip I can give you for now is using `ls -al` instead of `ls` when FTP'ing. Then you can see those "hidden" files.

Also, DA should be showing invisible files as of several releases ago.

Sorry, misspecified :D

DA does show it, ProFTPD doesnt...

Is there any way around this, or do i have a better chance with ProFTPD docs :D ?

If I recall correctly there is an option in the configuration file of ProFTPD to also show the dot-files. Lookup the documentation, I am sure it's mentioned somewhere :)
