texte = Ken's right, it's just a text file. If the permissions are right, WebDNA can read and write them. However, consider the security and performance implications of editable .htaccess files. If you allow overrides, users can point outside their directories and possibly avoid a sandbox. Also, per directory instructions can slow down your server if used improperly. These load on the fly after every change. With high traffic directories, it might be better to use httpd.conf if you can. -----Original Message-----From: Kenneth Grome
