If you have telnet access and access to the System/Server Management page then
you could do this yourself.

This is the KB artilce that works for your own usernames and passwords:

http://www.cobalt.com/support/kb/search.php3?ques=htaccess&qid=518&language=1

Make note of the 'AuthPAM_Enabled off' directive. If you copy the .htaccess file
they list in this article and use the command at the bottom the KB article to
create your htpasswd file it works great.

Here is what you need to do in order to see the files via FTP:

1. login to shell/telnet as user admin "su -l" in as user root
2. open /etc/proftpd.conf with pico or some text editor
3. place the following lines somwhere "at the top" of the proftpd.conf
file

# List all . files
LsDefaultOptions "-a"

4. save your proftpd.conf file and restart your proftpd server through the
GUI  Server Manager -> Control Panel -> uncheck File Transfer Protocal ->
click save changes button (wait for the server to respond) -> check File
transfer protocal -> save changes button

If you use WS FTP_LE then you have to add '-a' to your remote file mask under
the startup tab (without quotes).

Hopes this helps with your questions,
