.htaccess File Generator

Apache is one of the most flexible web server around. And one of the features that aids it in being flexible is a hidden file which goes by the name '.htaccess'. This file is used by web site administrators to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis especially when the administrator does not have access to the main configuration file of the apache web server.
You can use this file (.htaccess) to password protect files in a particular directory in your website, give mod-rewrite rules, force HTTP requests to use secure socket layer and so on. In fact, one can write just about any rule that he/she can configure in the main configuration file of the apache webserver.

But if you find writing code to be a hassle, then this webpage will aid in creating a .htaccess file from scratch with the parameters of your choice.
