Making sure FileZilla doesn’t hide your .htaccess file
If you upgraded to FileZilla v3 and had trouble finding your .htaccess file like I did then you need to follow these steps:
1. Select View > Filename filters…

2. Switch off the “Configuration files” option

3. Bask in the glory of your .htaccess and other hidden files

Note that you may also have to enable the “Force showing hidden files” option (Server menu…).
