.htaccess hidden on Rackspace Cloud Sites (in FTP, with Filezilla)

Problem: When connecting to a Rackspace Cloud site via FTP, hidden files are.. uh.. hidden. Usually Filezilla shows everything.

Fix: There is a setting in Filezilla called ‘Force showing hidden files’ that does exactly that. To activate that, go to the ‘Server’ menu item and select it. Like this:

When you click that, you should be shown a warning/dialogue box about why it needs to be done. Interesting what they say about ‘broken’ servers!
