Hi Landon,

You could search the archives, there are a number of instances of this question, with answers too!

On a Raq3, the file you want to edit is:
    pico -w /etc/proftpd.conf

search down for any Global Tags you may have, and insert this line:
    LsDefaultOptions "-a"

or
If you dont have any <Global> tags already, add the following to the bottom of the file:
    <Global>
    LsDefaultOptions "-a"
    </Global>

Thats it.

Next time **anyone** ftp's into the raq3, they will see ALL the '.' hidden files/directories

Have Fun!
