Get rid of dot files in gftp

If you do any publishing, chances are you use ftp to upload files to a ftp site. GFTP is an easy to use graphical ftp client for Gnome which is included in most Linux distributions. I've used gftp to upload a lot of projects, but one of the things that has always annoyed me is that by default, gftp enables showing of "dot files." Getting rid of dot files, aka hidden files, is a simple process:

cd ~/.gftp
vi gftprc


Look for the term hidden in gftprc and change it from 1 to 0.

Happy ftping!
