Can't use .htaccess

[lakechicago]

Hi. I"m working on a website in Italy. No idea who the web host is but apparently they don't allow .htaccess files. Any idea how I can get around this problem?

Don

Webhost address ?
What sort of webserver platform ?
Can you access /data/users/yourlogin.xml ?

1. The website address is http://www.buppodojo.it/
2. The webmaster wants me to help him convert the site to Get-Simple. 3. I don't know who the hosting company is.
4. There is no "users" folder in the data folder. Should I create one?
--Thanks.
