Re: htaccess

why would you use .htaccess for that? Why not just put up a temporary index page?

Re: htaccess

thats a nice write up!

But if you do htaccess what I do is make a text file upload it to my server then rename it to .htaccess. With a good FTP app like transmit you can make the files through that and edit them with the ftp app or as I like to do ssh in and pico the bad boy. The probolem you will encounter is OS X and Windows don't particuarly enjoy files that begin with a period like .htaccess.. in fact on OS X .Filename would make an invisible file unless you have the finder set to show invisible files.. Windows will just yell at you and tell you to give the file a name.
