.htaccess files are useful for many things. But one aspect in particular is the ability to rewrite URLs. This is good for search engine optimization (SEO) so your website's rank can be higher on the search engine and get you more hits. A .htaccess file can turn something like this:

http://www.test.com/article.php?name=acoolarticle

into this

http://www.test.com/article/acoolarticle

You can read more on using this feature, known as mod_rewrite, at PsychoCoder's mod_rewrite PHP snippet

You can put the .htaccess file in every single directory of files of your web server. I will be enabled on that directory and down the file tree.

Bare in mind the file might be hiddden, or does not exist already. You might need to create the file in your webroot (c:\htdocs or /var/www)
