I have noticed I can not see or access any of the htaccess files I have in my files. is there a way to do this? I have tried both the web based ftp and a client ..wsftp.. and filezilla neither show the htaccess files on this server but show the files on my other server.. can I adjust a file so I can view the htaccess files?

thanks

Please have a look at your proftpd.conf file, it seems that you configured proftpd to hide files that begin with a dot.

Add this to /etc/proftpd.conf:

Code:

LsDefaultOptions                "-la"

and restart ProFTPd.
