×Hello,
By default, the .htaccess file should be at /var/www/html/.htaccess.
If the file is not there, then you could just create it and add the default .htaccess rules for Wordpress. You can get it from here:
https://wordpress.org/support/article/htaccess/
Hope that this helps!

Bobby
This answers the question of how to find the file, but how does one edit it once they have found it?
I am accessing it via iTerm2 on my Mac running Mavericks. I have tried several things, including trying to open it with TextEdit and Sublime Text, as well as running cat > .htaccess which did nothing but hang for a long time.
Never mind. I found this article: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/ftp-access-to-droplet-i-dont-want-ssh
And used SFTP with Cyberduck: https://cyberduck.io/
Hi there @therealrodk,
Yes indeed using SFTP is one way to do that.
Another way to edit your files via your terminal directly is by using vim or nano for example. Those are text editors that are available on most Linux servers.
Here’s an interesting discussion on which one you should pick and way:

But long story short, vim is much more powerful but is more complex and might take you a long time to fully master, nano on the other side is much easier to start with but is more limited.
