Get "hidden files" over ftp, using commons-vfs
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: NET-157
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-157
             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: Wish
    Affects Versions: 2.0
         Environment: jdk1.5.0_07 ; Linux 
            Reporter: Michael Labicki
             Fix For: 2.0


I was trying to show "hidden files" by using commons-vfs, but I found no 
solution to do this by the way.
So I have patched the FTPClient - Class in commons-net 2.0.
The Default-Constructor sets the "__listHiddenFiles" property to false. I 
change the property to true.  

-----------------------------
 
"__listHiddenFiles = true;"

-----------------------------
 
The next necessary change I made, was in the "getListArguments" method:

      -----------------------------

protected String getListArguments(String pathname) {
if (getListHiddenFiles() && pathname != null) {
  StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer().append("-a ").append(pathname);
  pathname = sb.toString();
  } else if (getListHiddenFiles()) {
  pathname = "-a ";
 }
  return pathname;
 }
      
 -----------------------------
        
Maybe you can integrate this patch in your next apache.commons.net version?
