# Quick question
Im updateing the hotlinking on the ukdragon uploader (www.ukdragon.com/b3ta).

WinXP isn't letting me call the htaccess file .htaccess because of the dot. Does anyone know how i can get around this?

I have to use XP because im at uni and i cant be bothered to go upstairs to a linux one :P

# upload it as htaccess

I have no clue why it isnt

try making a new text document, putting the text in it, and saving it directly as .htaccess, I did that for something I was testing and it worked perekkly

# wierd
notepad can save it as .htaccess but you cant rename it in windows explorer

# do it from DOS
windows burps as it thinks the file has no name
