.htaccess.htaccess is a very ancient configuration file that controls the Web Server running your website, and is one of the most powerful configuration files you will ever come across. Htaccess is sometimes called: “HyperText Access” because of its ability to control access of the WWW‘s HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) using Password Protection, Allow and Deny capabilities, and more.
Htaccess files use the default filename “.htaccess” but any unix-style file name can be specified from the main server config using the AccessFileName directive. The file isn’t .htaccess.txt, its literally just named .htaccess.
