viewing .htaccess in ftp
 

i'm sure i'm gonna get flamed for this...

i just downloaded AceFTP. How do I go about viewing my .htaccess/.htpasswd files?

and what about in Coffee Cup Direct FTP

Just open it in notepad.
Then edit the file.
Then re-upload in ASCII
Set your permissons...

Then your set

that's not the problem...
once the files are uploaded, they're hidden
i want to unhide them

Talk to your host.
Its a server configuration that hides them.
He is probaly using plesk....or something like that.

He can make them all appear for ya!

>> How do I go about viewing my .htaccess/.htpasswd files?


Search for ?server applied filters? in settings and add ?-al? in the remote filters field.

Isn?t scary as it sounds =)

Its a server issue your host can set the permissions so you can see the .htaccess file

it could be in the ftp program?
i would check the options in the software

i think some hide the .htaccess and .htpasswd on purpose

How to ask AceFTP to show me hidden files?
. This configuration is in each site properties. Go in the properties of your site, in the GENERAL tab... you'll see a line named "Listing parameter", check the box to Override ancestor's values.... then check the line "Show hidden files".
Just below that, also check the line "Hide files beginning with a .", and uncheck the "Enabled" line below.

i love all the conflicting answers
for the record, hyper's method is correct
thanks dude

sure man..
its like a car
always check the easiest thing to fix first :)

Garvin's answer worked for me... I use CuteFTP Pro.
