Wondering if there is a global .htaccess that will redirect all .htm files to .html files rather than listing all files?

You could use something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ $1.html [R=permanent]

So this would be a .htaccess file in the home directory? Nothing else needed in .htaccess? Just:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ $1.html [R=permanent]
and save with Notepad as a txt file then remove the extension before FTPing to server?

I usually call the file htaccess.txt when editing locally and uploading. Then I change the file name directly on the server.

Yes, thanks Inger. My FTP program will let me drop the .txt extension either locally or on the server. But I'm unsure about the content of the .htaccess file. Is it only
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.htm$ $1.html [R=permanent]
Nothing else goes in the .htaccess file?

Scott I tried that today and when I updated and uploaded my .htaccess file my site could not be found when I only kept 1st line RewriteEngine on and uploaded .htaccess again site back to working good again so am I doing it wrong?
