.htaccess... why it is deleted by the server?!!!?

You are right.. It is hidden only.. Okay now this problem is solved.. but the other problem is that in my .htaccess file : " AuthUserFile /pass2 AuthGroupFile /pass2 AuthName AllowLocalAccess AuthType Basic order deny,allow deny from 217.164.249.134 allow from all " The IP 217.164.249.134 is mine.. I want to try blocking it from transfering data from the folder "/pass2" into my PC.. I mean in my website : http://www.alaedin.com/pass2/www.alaedin.com/pass2/tetetet.rm So I want to deny that RM file.. so that IP can't access it or download it to his machine.. is it possible? where must I put this file? And must I change in this script? or it is right? Please help me in this problem..
