It's called Google.

Per http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/howto/htaccess.html:

.htaccess files (or "distributed configuration files") provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives, is placed in a particular document directory, and the directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof.

 

 

 

 

 

"but how we create this htaccess file"

 

 

How do you normally create files?

[hamza]

 

should we create the our own htaccess file with perticular commands if yes

then show me few of them

Did you read that link at all?  A .htaccess file is simply a plain text file with sets of rules/commands for Apache to read and apply to the directory that it's in and all subdirectories (unless they either have their own rules/commands or are ignored).
