I just inherited a WordPress site that a client had half-developed by another web developer.
The site is hosted on a Strato dedicated Server and has got a Plesk installed on it.
I just made an ftp user to get ftp access to the site. Up till here, everything is fine and correct.
The problem is that not all directories and files are shown in the ftp (FileZilla). I know that there are more files, because I can see them in the web file manager.
I thought it was a permissions problem, but I have checked all the permissions and they are all correct.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Open FileZilla FTP client.
From the Menu bar choose Server
Select Force Showing Hidden Files which should be the last option.
You should now be able to see all files including ‘hidden files’ within the FTP remote window.

It’s a pretty late reply, but I hope it can help someone out there.
1 – Open “Filezilla”
2 – Click “Site Manager”
3 – See “Protocol” there, click the drop down and select “SFTP – SSH File Transfer Protocol”
Now connect and everything should be there!
