Question : GoDaddy and .htaccess file creation

I have an issue with GoDaddy that I am not sure how to resolve.

I have an account with them that hosts a website on a linux server and when I loaded up a new website today one of the features I added was the ability to download VCard (.vcf) files.  When the site went live, the downloads worked in IE but not in Firefox or Safari.  I contacted GoDaddy and they told me that I need to make a change to the .htaccess file, the problem is there is no .htaccess file as far as I can tell in the root folder.   My knowledge in this area is somewhat limited and frankly I am not sure how to put together an .htaccess file.  If someone could point me to a resource or let me know how to begin that would be most helpful.

PS.  I have an apache webserver I use for testing on my machine, is there something I can take from that and move it over to my GoDaddy site?

Thanks!
