I am looking for an online tool that will display the contents of the htaccess file. i came across a tool a month ago, but I can not recall the name of the tool. Thanks

Hi Irving,

Sometimes the .htaccess files are hidden so you just need to change your FTP client to allow the viewing of hidden files

After than, you should be able to view the contents of a .htaccess file by using notepad or any other text editor.

Hi Irving,

As Yusuf suggested, .htaccess files are not publicly viewable - they're inaccessible by public users by default.

For your own site's .htaccess file, simply downloading the file via FTP and opening with Notepad/similar will work. But I take it you were looking for a tool to check the .htaccess file for public sites. If there is such a tool, it's news to me.

Best,
Mike
