Description

Some ftp server hide files from their users.
You can view them by issuing a "LIST -a" command.

I propose to add the method

FTPClient.setListHiddenFiles(boolean listHiddenFiles)

and if it is set to add a " -a" in to the list command in method
FTPClient.listFiles(FTPFileListParser parser, String pathname)

I'll prepare a patch if there is consens.

Thanks to Sylvain Perez for pointing this out.
