Downloading files using GetFiles

Hi,
In a C# application I want to download one hidden file in a directory on a remote server.
If I try to download this file using ftp protocol and GetFiles(), an exception is generated: Exception thrown: 'WinSCP.SessionRemoteException' in WinSCPnet.dll. If I remove the hidden attribute on the remote server, everything works fine. How can I download hidden files on the remote server using C#?
Thanks in advance.

Please attach a full session log file for both scenarios (using the latest version of WinSCP).

Sir,
In the attachement I've included a logfile. Please not that
the file _mydocument.txt in the logfile is a file that has the hidden flag
(hidden file)

As you can see in the log, while the server includes the hidden file in a directory listing, it rejects its download. Looks like a bug to me.

I do not think that you can do anything about it. You should get the same problem with any other FTP client.

OK, I thought it had something to do with the listing functionality in WinSCP.
maybe add option to skip downloading hidden files, or report hidden files being skipped?

But there's no way WinSCP can tell that the file is hidden. To WinSCP the file looks like any other.
