[cobalt-users] re: hidden .htaccess files [RAQ4]

[Christopher Simmons <cs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another thought on this subject.

I use NetFinder on the Mac, CuteFTP on the PC, WS_FTP, and tried
FlaseEXP....
none of these will show the "." files (such as a datafile called .lock,
or .htaccess).

This is not a function of the ftp client when it comes to the RaQ4 ....
I can see "." files on three other systems, including Linux,
Sun/Solaris, and NT right this moment... but they are invisible on the
RaQ. Obviously, the RaQ is configured differently, and it's not that the
ftp client is lacking.

So.... for those of us in the smart party who are still figuring this
beast's mysterious ways out..... how can we switch the "." files to be
visible to the casual viewer with admin access, but not visible to the
public. I can give you examples of ten other hosting providers and
setups which allow for viewing these files from general ftp software
without security risks.

What up? Any help on this issue would be a HUGE help.  I want my files
to be visible via ftp to the admin user, and they ARE NOT in ANY ftp
client. Period.
