Hi.....
I'm a Newbie...please be gentle with me!

Have installed the latest version of Ver 2 and almost have it up and running...
except...
I can't FTP over the 2 .htacess files...

I searched for posts on the threads and went back and changed permissions on my files etc but to no avail...

can you help?...
I'm hosting on Yahoo in a subdomain...

I'm assuming it's the file starting with a "."
should I rename the file...send it over...then change it's name back...then change my permissions and go back to wading through the set-up in Admin?

Thank you........
blessings,
julia

Check the settings on your FTP client to allow hidden files... on UNIX systems a dot in front of a file means it's hidden, that's ".htaccess"

But I see you're running on Yahoo hosting...AFAIK they won't allow .htaccess :(
