I have Dw CS3 and have no problems putting or getting .htaccess.
The only issue with it - is Dw doen't load the file to edit it if you
doublle click.

.htaccess probably cannot exist on your computer since it is an
liiegal filename. I edit mine in UltraEdit, but you could also rename,
download, edit, upload, rename. -

In what operating system using what filesystem? Clearly not on most
*nixes; I just opened, edited and saved a file named .htaccess in XP Pro
with NTFS.

4. Re: CS3 can't download the htaccess file
RustyCT Sep 14, 2007 11:05 AM (in response to Mike52179)If you're using a Mac, files cannot start with a period. I change the name of file on the server, edit the file, then change name back. Don't know if Windows can use a period to start file names.
Hope the workaround helps,

Clearly most people do not use *nix. :) I do on two computers, but
haven't touched those computers in a month.
I didn't realize XP was okay with that; I've worked around it for
long, it comes automatically. -

On my Win2k machine with DW8, I added .htaccess to the open in code view
list in the preferences. When I double-click an .htaccess file, it opens
in code view. I can open, edit and upload just fine.
