.htaccess files

Winhost > Programming, error messages and sample code
An .htaccess file is used to override the web server's global configuration for the directory it is in (and any directories below). .htaccess files are commonly used to allow per-directory access control, such as password protecting a directory or file, or URL rewriting.
 
.htaccess files are only supported on Apache web servers. They are not supported on the Microsoft IIS servers at Winhost.
