Whoah whoah whoah!!!! Guys, I have several 5.4 servers. Hitting them with IE 6.0.2800.1106 ftp client I get NO PROBLEMS seeing dot files. I DO NOT see the behavior that the OP claims. NOR do I see the behavior that you guys are claiming either of IE's FTP client being bad. Nor do I see this behavior on a 6.0 FreeBSD server. I respectfully submit that both you and the OP are off your rockers. You guys, probably because you don't know how to setup Windows properly. (which is understandable) The OP probably because he doesen't know how to setup FreeBSD properly, plus has borked some settting in his IE. Note he hasn't posted the IE version. Note he hasn't setup a test login on his FTP server and invited anyone to try it and see if they are getting the same problem. Can you say "Troll bait"? I knew you could. AND YES, I did try a few FTP sites on that URL. No problem with any of them. AND NO I do not recommend IE as a FTP client either. And I respectfully submit that a recommendation against IE from someone who must apparently know how to set it up properly should IMHO carry more weight than one from someone who apparently doesen't know how to set it up properly. If you think IE's FTP client is so bad then post a few sites and I'll go to them and put up some screen captures of my IE. Go ahead, prove I'm wrong. I'd like to see it crash. I dare you. And Stevan, STFU until your willing to post a test login on this allegedly bad FreeBSD system of yours.
