I am working with Notepad and the FTP plugin. The .htaccess files do not show up in the folder tree of the server. Anyone else encountered this and know of a fix?
With a . htaccess file, you can use common Apache modules, such as mod_rewrite. A . htaccess file is a plain text file that sits in your app's public directory.
htaccess file is located in the root directory of your WordPress site. Depending on your hosting provider, the root directory may be a folder labelled public_html, www, htdocs, or httpdocs. You can locate it by using File Manager in your hosting account's cpanel.
htaccess files from custom locations, the contents of this file can be found in the installdir/apache2/conf/vhosts/htaccess/APPNAME-htaccess. conf file.
I know this is an old question now, but I've run into this problem, too.
In the current version of Notepad++ (v5.9) the NppFTP plug-in (v0.23) has a setting for each connection called "LIST parameters". It is accessible via Settings/Profile settings/FTP Misc
. Enter "-al" there and hidden files should be visible. Remember to set it for each profile.
