Duckula - Didn't try it from an editor I mean from within Gnome. I usually use gedit for most plain text, would something else be better for an htaccess file?

How about starting the editor from a command line with the filename as an argument, does that work?

I have no idea how to do that!

(OT - I used to watch a cartoon called Count Duckula - is your name related to that?)

nobody - I tried ls, but the file didn't show up. What is pico, a plain text editor? I'm using Gnome, but .htaccess files still don't show up when checking the show hidden files box.

sonjay - that would work when I'm creating a new file, but won't help when I need to edit an existing one. I might be able to edit the file on the server through gftp. It usually takes me a while to figure out how to write a new mod_rewrite though, so I don't know if it would be a good idea for me to be connected through ftp that long while I figure it out.

I wonder if I need root access to get to htaccess files?
