Re: [cobalt-users] My .htaccess files are hidden.



Hi..

If you start up a telnet client and log into the shell (that ok everyone
syntax wise??) and bavigate to the directory that you have put the .htaccess
into and type (after the $) "ls -a" (- the quotes) you will see all files.

Ftp and Normal viewing is prohibited from seeing .files as part of the
security setup on Linux/Unix systems.

Hope this helps you.

(Nice to help the other way for a change!)
