.htaccess and ftp problem

I m using vbSEO 3.3.0 and i m trying to install:
vBSEO GoogleYahoo Sitemap Generator v.2.0

At the Installation Instructions it says:

Upload the vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap .htaccess file (located in the 'htaccess' folder) to your forum root.

Note: If you already have an .htaccess file in your forum root, DO NOT upload the vBSEO Google/Yahoo Sitemap .htaccess file as it will replace the contents of this file. Instead, enter the following code in your 'forum-root/.htaccess' file at the bottom:
Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

At the ftp there is .htaccess file of vbSEO 3.3.0, so i won't upload the new .htaccess but i have to paste the above. The thing is that i can't find the vbSEO .htaccess file at the ftp.. maybe is hidden and i don't know how to find it.. I m using Cute FTP 8.3 Pro..

Thanks for any help!
 
.htaccess file are suppose to be hidden but most FTP scripts display them. If you check the setup on cuteftp, you will probably find an option to show hidden files. I'd be a little nervous uploading a file without knowing the contents of it. If you have cPanel use their editor to check what's in that .htaccess file, cPanel has no problem displaying .htaccess.
