hidden .file and not showing up

[fadafwet]

Hi

I have been hidding some file by putting a dot in front of the file name
It is working as they do not show up in the file browser on the tv.
They also don't show in my ftp client (filezilla) and also in a telnet connexion.
If I try to list the file with the ls -a command I can see my hidden files.

The problem I have is that I enable the option in filezilla to see the hidden files (server menu, force display of hidden files) but it won't work. The hidden file and directory won't appear.

I would like to know if it is an issue with my A-110 popcorn hour or with with filezilla itself ? And what can I do to fix it
I'm sure I'm not the only one who use the ftp client so maybe people can post if it work for them.
