Invisible .qmail files in users ftp directories -- How did I do that?

2001-02-10 Thread Dan Poynor

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

Check the documentation for your ftpd -- probably something in its configuration
file.  It's certainly not got anything to do with qmail.
