Editing an .htaccess File

Stephan Pringle Monday, May 12, 2003

There are numerous ways to go about in editing an .htaccess file.

On Microsoft Windows
* Edit the file with Microsoft Notepad then upload via SFTP/FTP.
* Use WinSCP and the Edit Mode feature.
* Use SSH and any text editor.
* Use the File Manager in cPanel.

On Apple macOS
* Edit the file with TextEdit then upload via SFTP/FTP.
* Use the File Manager in cPanel.

In my opinion, the easiest way to edit a .htaccess file for novices is through the File Manager in cPanel but you must remember to make a backup for editing.
