It would be great to see hidden files such as .htaccess and .htpasswd with FTP client. Working with them from ssh is quite bad idea.

Open a trouble ticket and notify your ftp settings (host, username and password)

I had that same problem, but I changed the FTP client to show them to me. I can tell you what I did, and you might be able to get similar results with your client.
I use CuteFTP, and I went to View -> Filter View...
Then I checked the box that says "Enable filtering" (I know, you have to enable filtering to not filter). Then in the box at eh bottom called "Server side filtering", I placed the following command (without the quotes) "-la". Hit OK and now I have all my .files and .dirs viewable.
Hope this helps!

Why is editing .htaccess and .htpasswd a bad idea with ssh and a text editor?

You can edit these files via SSH or in some text editor on your PC and then upload .htaccess on the server.
