my server (Angelfire - paid for) says .htaccess file is illegal and won't upload it

Hi.

I have uploaded the folder with files included called 'Compressed' and the index.html file but Angelfire (paid for, not free version) won't allow me to upload the .htaccess file.

Was wondering if there was any way round this rather than have to use another server?

Cheers.

 

I see that you can upload and edit files to Angelfire with FTP program, check how to change the content-encoding of a file using your FTP program, and then instead of the release folder, upload the compressed folder. don't forget to change the files suffix from ".memgz" ".jsgz" ".datagz"... to ".mem" ".js" ".data"
