My server seems to have an .htaccess file with these contents:

=============================
# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.mysite.com
AuthUserFile /home/me/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/me/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
Options -Indexes||
=============================

How did this get there? Does FP2003 auto-generate this?

And what do the contents mean?

Can someone perhaps point me to a good resource about .htaccess files?

Thanks
