Easy way to create .htaccess file
.htaccess is a text file that contains commands to instruct web servers how to behave in certain situations. The file name starts with a dot because dot-files are hidden files on Unix-like operating systems.
It has a bit complex rules for writing commands. Mis-coding can cause serious risks. With .htaccess Editor you can create .htaccess files (without any knowledge of complex rules) that includes;
- Deny all access to files
- Basic authentication
- Custom error pages
- Password protection
- Default pages
- Redirect directives
- Access restrictions

You wrote about it in your “Protect your WP installation”, right? Can I create this file with any text editor and then copy and paste your text (with appropriate changes)? Sorry, I don’t know much about programming, but I read a lot and try to understand things, which I may have to do.

Sure Lana, go on. But I dont remember that I have been writing an article which is entitled “Protect your WP installation”
Update;
The article that you were talking about is here. And It is not originally written by me. If you will check it carrefuly, you’ll find out that I have referred Mat Cutts as source.
