The Apache software provides a directory-level configuration called Hypertext Access  or .htaccess  file. This hidden file is usually found in your website’s public_html  folder. To modify it, [SSH]  into your server account and modify the file using your favorite command line text editor. We can also create the file ourselves and upload it to the server using[ FTP/SFTP or SCP]. Additionally, most control panels allow us to modify the .htaccess file using a native [file manager].

Your website’s .htaccess file may already contain important settings that need to remain in place. If your .htaccess file has existing settings, you will need to add the new code to what is already there. If your site was built for you and you aren’t entirely familiar with your site code, you may need to seek assistance from a designer or developer when adding new [.htaccess settings].
