I don't know how it works or how to set it up but I know I've seen ftp servers
hiding directories like you describe ( I'm guessing the ls is the one from
inside ftp). When I've seen this before it was applied to a single directory
as a security feature. You could tell someone the filename and they could go
get it but the casual browser wouldn't find it. Could it be that your ftp
server setup has this hiding set for / ?
