Show hidden dot files in proftpd

05.16.2007 | Author: major | Posted in Uncategorized

If you can’t see hidden files in proftpd (the files beginning with a dot, like .htaccess), you can enable the option in your client. However, you can force the files to be displayed in almost all clients with a server wide variable in your proftpd.conf:

ListOptions -a

Make sure to restart proftpd afterwards and re-connect to the FTP server to see the changes.

    Thanks - this is exactly what i needed although every time there is an update I seem to have to change it again - is there a way to make this change permanent?

    Thanks

    @JBO - As far as I know, there is not a way. Plesk rewrites the proftpd.include file each time you make FTP adjustments and it puts a new proftpd.conf in place with each upgrade.
