You need to change the ".htaccess" file on your webserver. Your host/admin should have some information about this for you.

To be honest, my knowledge on the subject is very limited. I think the .htaccess file is often "hidden" from normal FTP. You should be able to access it if your webserver provides a control panel. Your host should also be able to provide basic intructions on changing the file.
