Whenever I open .htaccess file, I saw this warning statement as below.
Be sure to make a backup before making changes and ensure that you have FTP access to your web server and know how to access and edit files via FTP.
Back up is already have but why need FTP access to edit? Is AIOSEO has given us the access to edit the code? If no, why AIOSEO let us edit the .htaccess file and give us the warning.
Do anyone edit .htaccess file before and it is safe? Appreciate advise from anyone.
