Today I was trying to change the .htaccess of this website, and see if the server is accepting the changes to the file. After search the forums of 110mb I get to a topic that tells me to change the redirect rule of 404 (not found) page, and see if the server react to that change. If this isn’t working it’s because the the server doesn’t have the ht-access working for my domain.

So apart all this problem how I can see the hidden files on the finder?

First option:

You can open the terminal and edit some of the configurations of the Finder. In the next image is the commands that you need to write in you terminal:

The first line:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE

This line will set the default configuration of the finder of the key ‘AppleShowAllFiles’ to TRUE, this will make the finder to show the hidden files. Set it to FALSE if you want to keep it hidden.

The second line:
killall Finder

This line will restart the Finder and apply the changes that you made to it.

Second option:

You can download an Automator application and open it, it will do the same changes that I showed above and you will not need to write any line, and you will not forget what are the commands.
