 * Is Filr reliant upon .htaccess files?
 * WP Engine have deprecated .htaccess and other hosts are likely to go the same
   way. I’m wondering if Filr will still work without them?

 * Hey [@sngg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sngg/),
 * FILR can also work without .htaccess files.
 * You can choose between .htaccess protection and PHP protection (via dynamic index.
   php files).
 * So even if more hosts deprecate .htaccess, Filr will still be able to protect
   your directory.
 * Best regards,
    Patrick
