locate .htaccess file?

[MITK]

I am trying to edit my .htaccess file. It's for a wp plugin and all I have to do is copy some code. However, I can't find it when I go to file manager. When I do a search files, is says that there is a .htaccess file in both my root domain and my addon domain folder, but like I said, when I look for it, it's not there. What am I doing wrong?

The File Manager doesn't show files with names like .htaccess. Two choices: first, you can use the Legacy File Manager, and check the box labeled "Show Hidden Files." Second choice: use an FTP client program like FileZilla or WS_FTP - download the .htaccess file to your PC, make your changes, then upload it again.

Cool - Thanks!!

Linux uses the dot on the front of filenames to indicate that they are hidden files. This means that they are not visible in a lot of programs and are therefore less likely to be updated by mistake.
