Are there multiple .htaccess files in your site, or just one at the root?
If so, try creating a blank file on your local site and marking it as don't
publish. FP should leave it alone on the server since it will see a file in
both locations.
I suggest this method for a single (or few) files so you don't have to do it
dozens of times.

No, it's definitely deleting it. I'm not looking for it in FP. I'm going
into CPanel on the server, opening the file manager, and looking for it.
It's gone, and I have to assume that FP is killing it. Besides, its
functionality is gone.
But I'm not using .htaccess for password protection, at least not yet.
It's in there to run the server-side includes (since I'm not using FP
includes anymore) and to tell the server to parse .shtml documents
(necessary for SSI) as .htm. I don't have the file on the local site at all.
I'm just entering it manually through the file manager on the server.
So I guess the thing to do is upgrade to 03 and use it to FTP the
new/changed files to the server. If I'm understanding everything correctly
here, that should do the trick. And I'm assuming the command for that
process would be "update" rather than "synch".
