Permalinks won't work after migration

Hi I have recently moved a website from a local server to a live server using the Duplicator plugin. The site/plugins works great with Standard permalinks.
However if I try to change the permalinks to Pagename I get a 404 on all pages except the homepage. I have already tried to add a .htacces file with the following code in the WordPress root without any result:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

In the hosts filemanager the hierarchy looks like this:
HTTP > werealest.nl
There is also a folder in there called “.protect” with a file “.pemhtacces” with no information in it, does this have anything to do with is?

Really can not figure this out.
