.htaccess isn't a file extension. It is a file. Specifically, it is a hidden file. The (dot) before the name of the file signifies this, you can hide any file in this manner simply by naming it .michael. You wouldn't be able to see it normally, and certainly not by browser.

What you could try to do with your html/text creator is create a file, name it htaccess.txt, put your htaccess stuff in it. When you're done; save it as the htaccess file, then try to rename it to .htaccess.

It sounds like Yahoo doesn't allow hidden files by it's users though.

Flawebworks, I did give your suggestion a try and got:

Create & Update > File Manager
Rename failed for htaccess.txt
--- Invalid filename

For some reason the system did allow me to rename the file
".htaccess" but that doesn't seem to have done anything. I'm assuming that if this worked I'd be able to key in the URL
"http://www.1800sunstar.com/"
and it would come up as "http://1800sunstar.com/"

yes..?
