Q. I'm using FrontPage, can I edit the .htaccess files? A. NO! If you're running FrontPage, you cannot custom-edit the .htaccess file within your public_html or www space. You'll either create a security hole or break FrontPage. There are no other options. This includes ANY .htaccess file in your domain, including one in the cgi-bin. (Having said this, please note that an .htaccess file may be used in any directory within the webspace that is *not* owned by the user; for example, a directory owned by root.)
