How to Show Hidden Files (e.g., .htaccess) in Plesk

Hidden files such as .htaccess are not visible by default in Plesk’s File Manager. You can enable their visibility by adjusting your File Manager settings.

Steps to Show Hidden Files

1. Log in to your Plesk control panel
2. Go to Files
3. Click More (top menu)
4. Select View Options
5. Check the box for “Show system files and directories”
6. Click OK or Save

Once enabled, hidden files and folders (such as .htaccess) will be visible in the File Manager.

Additional Information

• On Linux-based systems, any file or folder that begins with a dot (.) is considered hidden
• Enabling this setting does not modify files — it only makes them visible in the File Manager
