ok - it does show up in DW - i, for some reason, was trying to browse to it in the finder - i'll just use DW next time.

You should be able to see it via DW, Coda, or Transmit (or any FTP app).
Or you can choose to show your hidden files in Finder via Terminal;

Thanks for your tips! Got it!
I'm kind of in new territory here - I've always done design work on a Mac, but Web Dev here at work was always PC based (and still is except for me).
Now that I've switched back to Mac-only, I'm trying to regain my footing.
Seems like setting up connections to servers and mapping drives (\\server\share) was more simple on PC (though I'm still figuring it out). It's been somewhat frustrating trying to figure out how to connect to our Linyx servers (there's no control panel, it's all local connections, or webDAV, or any other number of terms I'm mis-using). but it's getting there. thanks again.

If your hosting has a control panel you can usually edit them from there too.
- do you use DW?Jnr_Madison
- i am currently using DW CS3 - i am used to homesite+ (pc based) I also have a copy of bbeditbulletfactory
- you can turn on hidden files in DWJnr_Madison

Use a local listing on an FTP client to list and edit the htaccess files

The UNIX command to view hidden files is ls -a

It's kind of annoying, but I just rename the file once it's on the server.

Since files beginning with a '.' are hidden from view, how do developers using Leopard (or maybe any version of OS X) edit .htaccess files? I found an app called xMod, but wanted to see if there are other ways or apps you may use. Thanks!
