FireFTP - Viewing .htaccess file?

    For some reason I can't view the .htaccess file in the root directory of the server. I know the file exists because I was using it for redirection which still works.

    Anyone faced this problem?

    I wish I could remember what I did....

    Try refreshing the FTP or reconnecting to the server.

    I use FileZilla for the FTP client, try that too.

    Hey,

    Actually I found out. I use FireFTP a Firefox plugin:

    In tools (left hand side of menu up top) -> Options -> Option checkbox "Show hidden files" should be checked.

    Cheers,
