Thanks. I am guessing that I do have read/write access because I upload and remove the all of the files on the site, including .htaccess on the main branch. Further, after logging in via the command line, I was able to navigate anywhere I could otherwise go in the file manager in cPanel. Bein

Most '.htaccess' files ARE provided by host developers so that users have some security control over their site (being able to choose who or what to block is one case in hand) WITH 'write' access. Most sysadmins with access to root privileges don’t actually use them and format the directives dir

Just to clarify, the remote "client" is the owner of the URL and has full access for purposes of uploading the html, css, etc. files to the server, as well as .htaccess files. At least one website states this can be done from the command line, but I'm not certain that's correct. See http://ww
