    I have read this :

    Most FTP programs allow you to CHMOD files or folders directly.

    Hi,

    You can change mod from command access too. Syntax is these:

    chmod 666 username:username file/foldername

    What programs do you use?
    If you have SSH access the command is:
    chmod 666 .htaccess

    If you use FTP, the instructions will depend on your FTP client.
    For example, in FileZilla, you need to right click the file and choose "File Attributes.." and then mark all check boxes or enter "666" in the "Numeric value" edit box.

    ATTENTION: Make sure to revert file permissions back to 644 when your permalink structure is set up. 666 .htaccess file can be easily abused.
