Screwed up my .htaccess
I've set a bulletin board and wanted to .htaccess the index.php file in its 'admin' folder.I created an .htaccess file, FTP'd it, created .htpasswd through Telnet, and everything worked fine.
This was my first time doing an .htaccess. Like I said, everything worked normally, except that I noticed I can't see .htaccess or .htpasswd in FTP or Telnet. Why that is, I don't know.
Then I decided to make one minor in .htaccess change (the AuthName). I did so, re-upped the file to 'admin', and now when I attempt to access the admin folder through my browser I get an Error 500 which states:
-------------------------------------------------
Internal Server Error

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@xx*********** and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Oh crap. What did I do & how do I fix it?
