No ".htaccess" file in unzipped Backlight + Pages?

I received the file "Backlight-Pages-102.zip" -- when I unzip it, I have all the files expected, except the ".htaccess" file.  I have verified that I can see hidden files in the finder (even did the Terminal command just in case), and tried to look at the folder in two different ftp programs (Interarchy and CuteFtp on the Mac).  It just ain't there...

Can you either send me the needed file, or tell me what the contents of that file should be, so that I can create one myself?

BTW, why is there no search command on this forum?  Nearly impossible to see if someone else has already asked this question (and hopefully gotten an answer)...?

There is a search. It is in the nav-bar top of the page. Just click on it and you will see that you have a lot of options to search.

Oops. I missed that in the menu bar.  i was looking for a button and text field...

Unfortunately, I see only two other queries regarding this file, and both asked where to put it.  In my case, I don't have it?

Re: No ".htaccess" file in unzipped Backlight + Pages?

try downloading and unzipping again, the .htaccess file is definitely there. In the unzipped folder you should see:

backlight/
galleries/
TTG-Publisher.lrplugin
.htaccess
index.php
readme.txt

.htaccess may be invisible on your system. In which case, you will need to enable display of hidden files in your FTP client in order to see and copy the file to your server.

Problem resolved itself when I rebooted my Mac.  Seems that only restarting the Finder after using Terminal to turn on hidden wasn't enough...?

Is there a way to indicate a topic is resolved, so others don't waste time on it going forward?
