    If you just copying index.php to root
    require('./wp-blog-header.php');
    has to be there for wordpress to work

    its on line 17

    As for .htaccess file is a hidden file there may be already there in root.

    Thanks for the quick replys!!

    I have tried both those links already, my problem is I have turned on “Show hidden files” in FileZilla and still have no .htaccess. I have got a .htpasswds if thats worth anything?

    the “require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);” is not in my index.php, on line 17 i have a </div>

    ..i realize im missing something here? what index.php are you talking about?

    You must have some other index.php in your root if you do then you will not be able to use wordpress from your root as they will conflict the index.php file in wordpress
    has this 

    <?php
/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

<?php endif; ?>

</body></html>

    that’s your themes index.php

    You need the one at WP root. the same place where wp-content, wp-admin, wp-includes folders are located

    looks like you have site working as I got error earlier
