gFTP: go to Options -> untick "Show hidden files".
This will match the pattern ".[0-z]*" and exclude/filter.
Mind you, gFTP also supports multithreading. *smile* Another option is
Konqueror, which supports multi-threading and enables you to exclude hidden
directories.
"View" menu -> "Show hidden file" (toggle to dis/enable)
As a kind reminder, for much of that file permission notion in UNIX/Linux
(and derivates) servers, you ought to use tools that are aware of the
corresponding filesystem. You otherwise cannot preserve all the information
that is associated with stored files. The transfers can rapidly become
lossy.
Hope it helps,
Roy
