我可以强制.htaccess刷新吗？

We are moving a site from one CMS to another. The .htaccess file has been changed and it needs to be refreshed for the new site to work right. From what I understand the .htaccess file will only be refreshed if the browser cache is cleared? It is fine for those creating the site to clear our cache, but is there a way to get the users' browsers to get the new .htaccess file without the user clearing cache manually on his own initiative? We are moving a site from one CMS to another. T
