.htaccess file disappears from live serever

I am using Racspace server, whose directory structure is as 

ROOT > web > Content

All of the files are placed in content folder. But when I place .htaccess file it automatically disappears. and rules doesn't work. Whereas it is working fine on local server The rules that are defined in .htaccess file are 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^dashboard/([0-9]*)?$ dashboard.php?user_id=$1 [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(\w+)=(\w+)$

If you are using a FTP program like FileZilla, than click "Server" and than click "Force show hidden files" and you are done!

I'm going to guess that its actually there, you just need to know to see it. In linux any filename starting with a . is considered hidden and will not display by default.

If you are access the file via ssl, you can see hidden files with ls -a. If you are using another client, you may need to configure it to show hidden files.
