That's even more work than the other suggestions... :)

I really just wanted to know if I could easily make sftp unable to see  
the hidden files.

Anything more complicated than that is a new project since I have  
plenty of other higher priority things to do.

One primary goal and reason for using FreeBSD is to do as little  
modification to it as possible.
