Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPPHow do i change the .htaccess on cPanel's Online File Manager (ByetHost)?
I'm using ByetHost as my website's FTP service, i configure everything (besides uploading the stuff) via ByetHost's Vista Panel, which has a Online File Manager where i presume i could edit the .htaccess.
However when i arrive at the File Manager, i can't seem to find the .htaccess file, and there is also a lack of a Settings button too.
Here is what the File Manager looks like: (the htdocs is where all my website's stuff is at)
I know ByetHost and/or whatever this unknown File Manager is not well known, but i'd like to ask anyways if there's anyone that could help me on how to configure my .htaccess. I would appreciate it.

I had this issue too, and couldn't find any settings or otherwise.
So what I simply did was:
Just created a new file and named it .htaccess!
.htaccess
And a quick test, I put in the following to allow access to my .html pages without actually typing the extension:
.html
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.+).html$ /$1 [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ /$1.html [NC,END]
And it worked successfully.
Did you figure it out before this or use a different host? I just took a stab in the dark and created my own and it worked, as I couldn’t find the settings either and it wasn’t practical for me to change host provider. I edited the title for other users in the future also.
