.htaccess file can be deleted by ftp user?

[Louk909]

Hi all!

Have created a .htaccess file from root with chmod permissons of 400. It is placed in the user ftp directory with all the details I have entered in plesk for it. However when I log in to the ftp as the user ie (ftp://www.ftpname.co.uk with username and password) and it goes to that directory and shows me that the .htaccess file is already there and uploaded by the root I can still delete it as the user.

This is very frustrating. Any idea what I am doing wrong and to stop the .htaccess file being deleted by the ftp user?

Thanks

Very strange,
but if you really want the .htaccess to be immutable, do:

chattr +i .htaccess
