publish .htaccess file from remote web site to local web site

[Froggy]

I have an .htaccess file that was created by my web server people. It
resides on the remote web site but not on the local web site. How do I gain
access to that file so that I can add things like Redirect 301 coding?

It's a hidden file on the server - you need to use an external FTP program
(since it appears you don't have much control over such settings within FP
publish tool), set the options to "show hidden files"

Then transfer the file down to your computer (as a text (ASCII) file, not
binary). Then in Notepad, open the file but remember to open the file name
".htaccess" (with the preceding full-stop).

Make the changes, save and publish it back to the same location.

When you make the changes, add your changes below all the FrontPage stuff
already in the file, or you will lose all access to the website with
FrontPage
