The normal way we create a htaccess file is that we make a name.htaccess file, upload it to server and rename it there with our ftp softwares. Here is how you can do it on windows.

In this case, open notepad. File > Save As.
In the file name type .htaccess, and in type make it to All Files. Click Save. You are done! That’s it
.In the file name type .htaccess, and in type make it to All Files. Click Save. You are done! That’s it
