proftpd default setting ListOptions - sseitz - 04-06-2009 10:21 PM
Hi there!
I don't know which distros are affected, but at least under a fresh debian lenny the /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf shows
ListOptions "-l"
If a user uploads files starting with a dot (.htacces for example) the uploaded file is hidden for this user and he/she is generally unable to work on it.
I suggest the default should be set to
ListOptions "-la"
Hope this finds it's way into mainline
cheers,
Stephan

Have you tried checking "Show hidden files" option in your preferred FTP client? The default server's configuration doesn't display them on normal list, but the client is allowed to explicitly request it to also show hidden files (-a modifier to the LIST command issued by the client).
IMHO it's ok the way and there's no need to modify anything (as hidden files should be hidden by default, as it's name implies!)
