We
strongly recommend that you use Pure-FTPD or ProFTPD on remote FTP servers. Unexpected results may occur with some FTP server software.
If you use Pure-FTPD, ensure that the DisplayDotFiles yes statement exists in the /etc/pure-ftpd.conf file.
If you use the Very Secure FTP daemon (vsftpd), ensure that you set the force_dot_files setting to yes in the /etc/vsftpd.conf file. For more information about vsftpd, read the
vsftpd documentation.
