(hypertext access) file is a directory-level configuration file supported by several web servers, that allows for decentralized management of web server configuration. The original purpose of .htaccess - reflected in its name - was to allow per-directory access control, by for example requiring a password to access the content. Nowadays however, the .htaccess files can override many other configuration settings including content type and character set, CGI handlers, etc.

.htaccess is a configuration file for use on web servers running the Apache Web Server software. When a .htaccess file is placed in a directory which is in turn 'loaded via the Apache Web Server', then the .htaccess file is detected and executed by the Apache Web Server software.

The .htaccess file is a powerful website file that controls high-level configuration of your website. On servers that run Apache (a web server (https://easy.gr/en/) software), the .htaccess file allows you to make changes to your website’s configuration without having to edit server configuration files.

An .htaccess file is a directory-level configuration file supported by several web servers, used for configuration of website-access issues, such as URL redirection, URL shortening, access control, and more. The 'dot' before the file name makes it a hidden file in Unix-based environments.

These .htaccess files can be used to alter the configuration of the Apache Web Server software to enable/disable additional functionality and features that the Apache Web Server software has to offer. These facilities include basic redirect functionality, for instance, if a 404 file not found error occurs, or for more advanced functions such as content password protection or image hotlink prevention.

htaccess is short for Hypertext Access, and is a configuration file used by Apache-based web servers that controls the directory that it “lives” in–as well as all the subdirectories underneath that directory.

hello,tony
The .htaccess file is a configuration file that controls how a webserver responds to various requests. It is supported by several webservers, including the popular Apache webserver used by most commercial web hosting providers. They're mostly used in cases where you don't have access to the main configuration files. use of .htaccess file is Protect your site with a password.Create a custom-made error page.Redirect visitors to another page.this file's basic use is to allow or block access to directory. You can configure it to selectively allow or not allow requests from a user. You can also redirect such users to a URL.
I hope this'll help you.
