 * You cannot update that file/template: must make it writable, e.g. CHMOD 666
    
   I cannot change .htaccess file cause I cannot find this in my site dir

 * I’ve been using PSPad recently to do editing and publishing via FTP. It hs a 
   preference which allows seeing hidden files on the server and enabling this will
   show the `.htaccess` file. PSPad is available [here](http://pspad.com).

 * For reference.
    To chmod in FileZilla, right click on the remote files and select“
   File Attributes”. To view hidden files in FZ, menu item View > Show Hidden Files
   In the Cpanel, I see hidden files and permissions by default. To chmod in Cpanel,
   select a file, and “Change permissions” appears at the top right. Not a particularly
   intuitive user interface but it works..
