Show hidden files with ProFTPD

I used to have no problem displaying hidden files (more precisely, my .htaccesss files) using FileZilla client with ProFTPD, but for some reason suddenly they disappeared… Adding (or editing) the following option in /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf fixed this:

ListOptions “-a”

(actually I used ListOptions “-al” because the default behavior was -l, which is quite useful to me)

I’m painfully aware that KeyCaptcha suddenly vanished, and at the worst moment of course. I’ll look into acceptable replacements when able. In the meantime, as before, if you want you can still send me your comment via e-mail and I’ll post it for you.
