Cant remove .htaccess file?

Hi

Im tring to remove a folder and its subfolders. I have noticed that there is a .htacces file with the text ;

Anyone knows how to override this using telnet or maybe a ftp client?
I dont seem to have the permission to remove them?

 

i think you can set it to show .htaccess files (hidden files) with your ftp client, i think you need to send a command or summing, it something like -h, but im really not sure.

 

Lol thanks for the reply but i know how to show hidden files.

 

cant ya just delete it then?

or

create a new .txt file and leave it blank, save it as .htaccess and upload to that directory and that should (fingers crossed) overwrite it.

If not contact the one who host your site.

 

Lol no i cant . If you would know what the command "order, deny, allow" means you will probably understand why? There is some to read about it here . I just cant seem to find the answer.

 

im not sure about the order means but allow/deny does what its says allows/denys websites/ips from visiting parts of your site or files.

if it helps this little example would deny ip address 222.222.222.222 from accessing any directory this is placed and would show a 403 error

<Files 403.shtml>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Files>

deny from 222.222.222.222

 

You probably do not have permission to delete this file. As another poster said, you can just create a text file with the same name and replace it. You should be very careful with deleting or replacing the htaccess file unless you know what is in it and what it is doing. There is no reason to delete it if it is empty.

 

I guess we are moving into the wrong direction . Im aware of what it does i just cant delete the folder in the directory. To make a long story short i ll contact the host and ask them to delete the file.

 

how I do it: I download leechFTP, and then when I login, I can chose the option Recursive Delete. That deletes all subfolders and files, including hidden files.

 

if you have added a new domain on it and shows u that error .

just remove it ,and re add it
then upload the files and it should work

 

Contact your host-support- file must be created with root, but not your username.
