It is not a good idea to do this on the server side in my opinion. Doing so
may allow non-linux users to see .htaccess and other hidden system files and
not knowing what they are delete them or otherwise mess things up. All good
FTP programs allow you to set a remote file mask so that just you see hidden
files rather than having to make it a server default.
