: Can .htaccess be changed through FTP after it was edited in WordPress in a way that breaks the site? I made the mistake of putting in the following code on my .htaccess file thru Yoast SEO:

I made the mistake of putting in the following code on my .htaccess file thru Yoast SEO:

# Remove www from any URLs that have them:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ example.com/ [R=301,L]


Now there's an infinite loop and I can't access my WordPress dashboard anymore. Is it possible to access the .htaccess file thru an FTP client like FileZilla and remove the change?
