Believe this is the ShowDotFiles parameter in /etc/proftpd.conf.  It defaults 
to "off" (don't show), but can be set for either global or virtualhosts 
sections as appropriate to either "show" those files or not.

ShowDotFiles	on

in the <global> section of the /etc/proftpd.conf file will turn this "on" for 
all sites/users which means they will "see" all dot files (.htaccess) when 
doing the dir or list commands.
