Ah, okay. I guess I assumed some knowledge that you may not have. Sorry about that!
FTP stands for “File Transfer Protocol”. It’s basically a technology that allows you to manage files on a remote computer (like your web host/server).
When you upload a website from Freeway, you are using FTP. However, to create or edit the .htaccess file, you’ll need a “real” FTP client/application. There are a bunch of these. On the free end, you have FileZilla and Cyberduck. If you want something nicer, I can highly recommend both Forklift and Transmit (don’t buy these from the Mac App Store, they often have to be crippled for Apple to allow them).
