In several web servers (most commonly Apache), .htaccess (hypertext access) is the default name of a directory-level configuration file that allows for decentralized management of web server configuration. The .htaccess file is placed inside the web tree, and is able to override a subset of the server's global configuration; the extent of this subset is defined by the web server administrator.The original purpose of .htaccess was to allow per-directory access control (e.g. requiring a password to access the content), hence the name. Nowadays .htaccess can override many other configuration settings, mostly related to content control, e.g. content type and character set, CGI handlers, etc.
In the Apache web server, the format of .htaccess is the same as the server's global configuration file; other web servers (such as Sun Java System Web Server and Zeus Web Server) implement the same syntax, even though their configuration files are very different. Directives in the .htaccess file apply to the current directory, and to all sub-directories (unless explicitly disabled in the server configuration), but for reasons of performance and security, cannot affect their parent directories.
