Resolved 403 forbidden on .htaccess with FileManager on 18.0.31/Ubuntu 20.04/LSWS

[Hotte]

I Used Plesk Migrator to go from debian 9 / Plesk 17.x to Ubunut 20.04 / Plesk 18.0.31 + LSWS
Except firewall / fail2ban it seem to work nice.

But I can not open / edit .htaccess in File Manager due to 403.
I already checkt chown / chmod and i can overwrite the file with a new one!
Changed from prior rw-r-r to rwx-rwx-rwx
I Tryed as admin and website user.
I also deleted the file and created a new one with file manager getting the same problem.

Webserver is working and using this .htaccess

What is logged as a reason for the 403 error in the web server error log?

I can't find any.. can u tell me where to look at ?

nothing in Opening of Plesk File Manager is logged to the file /var/log/plesk/httpsd_access_log
or /var/log/plesk/sw-cp-server/access.log | error.log

While writing I found out:
I get the 403 from user-webserver (in this case LSWS) so i found out that "I" was not using Port 8443 instead I was connected to https://IP (443)
Due to Migration I'm not yet using hostname... (I wan't to replace the old server in place)
So I was kind of talking to plesk via "User" - Webserver not via Plesk-Webserver... I thougth Plesk is only reachable via builtin / standalone webserver.

It was only heppening with hidden files like .hta/.htp...

So this is solved now, thank you for trying to help!
