  Hardening HTAccess, Part One
Htaccess can be used to manage multiple usernames/passwords, thereby enhancing information protection on the web server by controlling access through HTTP protocols.
This installment will offer a brief overview of htaccess, particularly why it is prone to attacks by brute force, and a look at a couple of hacking tools and methodologies to which htaccess is susceptible.
The benefits of htaccess are that it is easily maintained, easily understood (at least on how to write.htaccess scripts), and the two major browsers (IE and Netscape) have very predictable responses in success and failure of password authentication.

 Comprehensive guide to .htaccess- intro
I am sure that most of you have heard of htaccess, if just vaguely, and that you may think you have a fair idea of what can be done with an htaccess file.
Most commands in htaccess are meant to be placed on one line only, so if you use a text editor that uses word-wrap, make sure it is disabled or it might throw in a few characters that annoy Apache to no end, although Apache is typically very forgiving of malformed content in an htaccess file.
Before you go off and plant htaccess everywhere, read through this and make sure you don't do anything redundant, since it is possible to cause an infinite loop of redirects or errors if you place something weird in the htaccess.

 What is htaccess? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
htaccess is a Web server configuration file that contains commands known by the server that tell the server how to behave in certain instances.
Some of the most common uses of an htaccess file include the capability to restrict access to certain files or directories on the Internet (or intranet) through password protection.
Additionally htaccess is used to automatically redirect users, ban or allow certain IP addresses access to the server, and to call a custom designed 404 error Web rather than the standard error 404 file that usually appears in your browser.

 Comprehensive guide to .htaccess- Redirects
And then you can do it through htaccess, which is probably the most effective, considering the minimal amount of work required to do it.
htaccess uses redirect to look for any request for a specific page (or a non-specific location, though this can cause infinite loops) and if it finds that request, it forwards it to a new page you have specified:
Note that there are 3 parts to that, which should all be on one line : the Redirect command, the location of the file/directory you want redirected relative to the root of your site (/olddirectory/oldfile.html = yoursite.com/olddirectory/oldfile.html) and the full URL of the location you want that request sent to.

Notepad zum Beispiel weigert sich, die Datei unter dem Namen.htaccess abzuspeichern, auch ein Abspeichern als "htaccess.txt" oder "htaccess" und anschließendes Umbenennen unter Windows funktioniert nicht, da Windows sich weigert dem Namen einen Punkt voranzustellen.
