Use:

ls -al

to get the file to show up in telnet. Then just type

rm .htaccess

assuming you are in the same directory as the .htaccess file.

Hope that helps,

No way other than deleting it! Deleting via FTP, you get a wrong filename error? That certainly shouldn't be... try overwriting it.

Joey,
try copying a blanc htaccess file with the same name in that directory, to see if it will over-write it.


Just a thought.
