Previously I made .filename files invisible to users logging in via ftp as a security precaution. Now I need to make the files available to ftp users but can't remember how I made them invisible. The problem/feature occurs using various GUI ftp clients on different platforms from different ip addresses. Telnet users can still see the files and manipulate them but for many it would be easier to ftp them using a GUI to and from the server. After reading through the qmail docs and the man pages for ftpaccess and others I don't see where I did this using something too obvious like a ftpd command line flag in my inetd.conf file or something. My .hushlogin file presense doesn't effect this as well. So, how would you make all .filename files invisible to ftp users? Any thoughts appreciated, DAN (running RH6.2, wu-ftpd)
