To create a "hidden" file or directory on any linux system just start the name with a dot.

For example .profile
To see hidden files just use ls -a

Alternatively to make a blind directory where all files and sub-directories are hidden just remove the read permission from the parent directory
For example chmod a-r /anonftp

Are you sure Linux is right for you?

I already told you

To see hidden files just use ls -a

I suggest you read a book on linux. There are many recommended in this forum so I won't duplicate those posts.
