.htaccess not effecting subdirectories

Hey,

I modified my .htaccess so that it has styling from a header and footer HTM docs. Only problem is, the .htaccess does not effect all the subdirectories. For example, in my situation, i have a series of downloads folders that may have subs created in them by people other than me. So my problem is i want the styling to automatically be generated on those folders without me having to go back and copy a header.htm, footer.htm and .htaccess.

My code is as follows:

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.foothillsbaptist.org
AuthUserFile /home/footh4/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/footh4/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
Options +Indexes
   IndexOptions FancyIndexing SuppressDescription SuppressHTMLPreamble FoldersFirst
   HeaderName header.htm
   ReadmeName footer.htm
   IndexIgnore header.htm footer.htm .htaccess direclogo.gif
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/footh4/public_html

Thanks for your help.

Both HeaderName and ReadmeName now treat Filename as a URI path relative to the one used to access the directory being indexed. If Filename begins with a slash, it will be taken to be relative to the DocumentRoot.

So, assuming your "header.htm" and "footer.htm" are in your root directory...

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName www.foothillsbaptist.org
AuthUserFile /home/footh4/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home/footh4/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
Options +Indexes
   IndexOptions FancyIndexing SuppressDescription SuppressHTMLPreamble FoldersFirst
   HeaderName /header.htm
   ReadmeName /footer.htm
   IndexIgnore header.htm footer.htm .htaccess direclogo.gif
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/footh4/public_html
