Which FTP client to download .htaccess files
 

FlashFXP and WSFTP don´t show .htaccess files - what client to use?

CUTEftp will

no, it doesnt... or is there something special to setup?

http://ssh.com/

Use this and close your FTP port:)

ftp voyager should work

must be a setting on your server, then
why can't you just edit up a new htaccess file and upload it?

I'm curious too. I am using FTP Voyager 8. I've never seen an option to show the .htaccess files though......please advise!

.htaccess is a hidden file. I always have to use the "view hidden files" option on my sftpd when I want to edit them.

in cuteftp, right click and then hit "Manual Download" and enter .htaccess, it'll download it

it works with my Cute FTP

don't know how it works in the other programs, but I think there will be a similar solution. yep, normally the htaccess and htpasswd will not be displayed. In the WS-FTP software you have a little box to enter a mask. type in there

-a

and hit the enter button. now all your files will be visible

for cuteftp

Displaying Hidden Files: You can display hidden files on servers using a special filter command. When configuring your filter, select Enable remote filters (Server applied filter).
Type in -rtaF next to this field. Your listing command should now
be LIST-rtaF, which will display of hidden files.

That works!!

Thank you!!

It does, check if the option "hidden files" or something similar is enabled

It's always hidden, in cuteftp right click and go to "manual get", and type in .htaccess. I'm sure most clients have a similar option.

you're welcome :)
