Htaccess File Hidden?

[abinidi]

I'm trying to edit my .htaccess file in either my FTP client or in cPanel file editor, but the file won't show. If I try to add a new one, I'm told that one already exists, but I can't see it to edit it or modify the permissions.

 

Is there a setting somewhere that hides certain files? How can I make it display the .htaccess file?

 

Thanks!

Yes, there is a setting in the cPanel editor. You can reset your settings by selecting Reset All Interface settings at the bottom of your cPanel screen.

 

There should be a setting in your FTP client as well to show hidden files.

I cannot find this RESET button you describe. can you please be more specific, as dreamweaver will not show hidden files

It should be right at the very bottom of the main cpanel page : " reset all interface settings "

Thanks Ty. Yes, it's not a button, it's a text link as boxturt describes.

I use PSPad as an html/coding editor. Never had a problem viewing or accessing .htaccess files with it
