It's quite likely they're there, but fetch is hiding them because in UNIX, a file beginning with a dot is considered hidden by convention. You should be able to download it anyway, as I'm pretty sure fetch lets you type in the name to download somewhere. -- Craig Ringer

John I use Interarchy as my FTP client and it has an option to switch to viewing .files in the preferences, I can also view the contents and edit the files using the BBEdit tools without downloading the file. As I have the Fetch program I thought I would see if I was able to see any .files, but no I couldn't and I could not find any options in the program to do this. One thing to remember if you do get access to the .files and you want to download them to edit or whatever, you will have to temporary rename the file by getting rid of the . if you are using OS X as the .files will otherwise also be invisible on your computer.
