In the Linux operating system, a hidden file is any file that begins with a “.” (dot). An example for such a file is .htaccess.
Such hidden files can be edited in two ways:
- Using File Manager in cPanel. After you click on the File Manager icon, a pop-up window will appear. There you should select the directory you wish to open and check the Show Hidden Files box. After that you should be able to view/edit the chosen hidden file.
- The alternative method for editing your hidden files is by using the edit functionality included in your FTP client. For example, if you wish to see a hidden file in your FileZilla select Force Showing Hidden Files which is located in the Server menu.
