One of my site's folders contains 2000+ files but my FTP clients can only show 1998. How do I fix this?

if your using pure-ftpd, in the configuration file you'll see a setting like this:

# 'ls' recursion limits. The first argument is the maximum number of
# files to be displayed. The second one is the max subdirectories depth

LimitRecursion              2000 8

you can make the necessary adjustment and restart pure-ftpd and this help.

Nope.

There are these:
.imapv4cp5c
ftpquota

and in thecia.com.au there are:
passwd
passwd,v
quota
quota,v
shadow
shadow,v

This needs to be done in the /etc/pure-ftpd.conf file. From the looks of it, you do not have admin/root privileges on this server? If this is the case, you will need to ask the system admin (nicely) to modify this for you.

Can't I just upload a file named pure-ftpd.conf?
