I have a raq3 and I am able to upload
..htaccess files to any directory using FTP without a
problem..

That's probably because by default on the Raq's there
is no ..htaccess folder to begin with. Also, whenever I've tried
creating a ..htaccess file by any other means than telnet, the file
never gets created (ie I can't ftp a .htaccess file into a directory,
nor can I ftp a file over, then rename it to ..htaccess). This was
probably implimented for security reasons, as it is possible to disable
cgiwrap from a .htaccess file.
There's the why...as far as the fix, you can do one of
two things: telnet in and create the .htaccess file yourself, or tell
your customer that they are not permitted to use .htaccess restrictions
for security reasons and that they should find another way to password
protect their site (namely, use a cgi script that reads from a private
directory).
I suppose you could also give the user telnet access,
but of course this is a huge security risk.

frontpage
We have a Raq3i with Frontpage
extention. When our customers use Frontpage to add password
protection to their site they get the following message
" server
error: Cannot open" home/sites/site4/web/.htaccess": no
such file or folder.
Does anybody else have a problem with
this, and can it be fixed?
