Default can't view files with ls -la but can see them with ftp

Don't think its rootkit as it only happens on buried away subdirs,
like a data directory for a message board software I use.

when you do ls, you get

-bash-2.05b$ ls -la
total 8520
-bash-2.05b$

so it knows the files are there, just can't see them!!
help

when you 'ls -la', do you have read access on the directory?
