I am working with Notepad and the FTP plugin. The .htaccess files do not show up in the folder tree of the server. Anyone else encountered this and know of a fix?

A: 

The file is there, its just hidden. If you can type in a file name for download you can probably get it.

I don't use notepad plus but if the ftp plugin has a setting to show hidden files then you should be able to change that so you can see the .htaccess file. The server is probably unix so any file that starts with a dot is a hidden file.

It's normal behaviour. In options of your FTP client plugin find option "show hidden and hidden files. For example in Total Commander it's:

Network -> FTP Show hidden files
