Anybody know how to view hidden files on your server with the FTP client in Dreamweaver MX?

I want to delete some directories that contain .htaccess and .htpassword files but Dreamweaver wont let me delete a folder that has content. So how can i set Dreamweaver to delete folders regardless of their content or view hidden files?

Thanks  
Dave
