I cannot do this using Fetch. The Prefs option not to ignore such folders/files has no effect on my ability to see such files. I can manages them "blind" but that is primitive.
Am I being stupid or missing a trick?I'm glad to say I've answered my own question.
I now have a QuicKey which opens the FTP Commands window, types " LIST -al" then clicks "OK".

Another option is to run this AppleScript:
tell application "Fetch 4.0.1"
set send LIST minus al to true
end tellYou only have to run the script once; Fetch will remember the setting.
Thanks,

Fetch SoftworksRan the script (above), then realised it should read "set use LIST" not "set send LIST"
Works just as I need it...Many Thanks Jim.
