Hi Kyrre,
Files prepended with dots in UNIX operating systems usually symoblize a
file which is not shown to the user on a regular basis because the user
will actually not _need_ to know of it's prescense in daily use.
Therefore, it is entirely up to the FTP client of the user if files
prepended with dots are shown or not.
