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.

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?
