Can't see the .htaccess file

[bhills]

I read the good and simple tutorial in this forum about how to bring up a php script in an .html file. I tested it, and it works. But I can't see the .htaccess file on the server. I created it on my computer, and I can see it on the local hard drive. I uploaded it to the root on the server - mydomain.com - but it isn't showing up there. Obviously it's there, or the test wouldn't work.

I looked for it with both WS_ftp Pro and with CuteFTP. Nothing. I suspect there may be a setting in the FTP programs which I am not seeing, and so the file is hidden. But I don't know. Suggestions?

FTP clients usualy do not show files begining with dot to prevent damage. Some may be set to show them. I do not know for those you use.

However, I think file manager in control panel shows those files.

In CuteFTP:

• Hilight the account in the site manager and click Edit
• Check "Enable Filter" and click the Filter button
• Check "Enable remote filters" and in the remote filter box type -a
• Click OK till you're back at the site manager
• Reconnect to the account and you'll be able to see the hidden files

Thanks lovelie,

Worked like a charm. And it would have taken me a l of searching around to ever figure that one out...
