    Default FTP not listing all files

    I'm having a very strange problem with one of my customers.

    In their public_html directory, when I connect to SSH it says they have 2999 files including 22 directories in that directory. However, when viewing public_html on FTP, it says there are 1998 files including 12 directories. 11 of the directories in public_html are Frontpage directories starting with _ , all of which are showing up in FTP. It seems as though FTP is not listing files past "T", although the missing directories start with letters before "T" (for example, "F", "G" and "S"). In addition to this, I tried creating a number of test text files - I tried a number of letters, and the only one that shows up in FTP is "a.txt" - every other letter does not show up when I create a "<letter>.txt" file.

    I have verified that all of the permissions are correct.

    Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

    Edit: I have tried creating a new FTP user that has access to public_html and the same information shows up, so it is not a problem with the FTP user.

    Default

    Solved my own problem

    The problem was caused by a PureFTP setting that limits how many files to display. To change the setting, edit /etc/pure-ftpd.conf and change:

    LimitRecursion 2000 8
