While trying to add a new file .htaccess, I can’t do it though Filezilla client or MonstaFTP. After making any changes in htdocs folder, it can’t get saved and the window appears showing me "Error during FTP download, file not found: “/.htaccess”.
Try using desktop FTP software like FileZilla.
I was using it, I’m trying to create .htaccess through FileZilla desktop, it goes to failed transfers and shows me this:
it seems odd to me that the transfer of .htaccess file is located in AppData/Temp…
this may be the source of the error
try saving the .htaccess file to Desktop and transfer from there
I did a transfer from Desktop and it seems to be a successful transfer, it appears for a second in the / folder (not htdocs), and then disappears.
ah ! sorry I read your first post with my eyes closed
you cannot upload files to / only to /htdocs onwards
I wouldn’t worry about the missing /.htaccess as it shouldn’t cause any issues
it only contained some settings for default index and error pages, I think the hosting works fine without it

ErrorDocument 404 https://errors.infinityfree.net/errors/404/
ErrorDocument 500 https://errors.infinityfree.net/errors/500/
im going to test that theory right now, one moment…
@Z3noXXX yeah everything still works without the /.htaccess
server still looks for index.php index.html and index2.html
error pages still work (I tested 404, 403)
you could always recreate the default .htaccess in /htdocs if you wish but it looks like it isn’t necessary
