Hi!

This is definitely related to a .htaccess problem. Please try a different FTP client, some of the hide files that start with ".". You may also need to ask your provider if he is allowing to show "." files in his FTP server.

You could also write a simple removeme.php file:

Code: Select all

<?php
unlink('.htaccess');
?>
and then call that via HTTP to remove the htaccess file...

Garvin

Thanks,

IT worked, but when I put the removeme.php file in my root directory, and point complete address of .htaccess file insteda of only .htaccess, so if anybody has similar problem this is the solution.
Thanks again for quick help.

Greetings,
