    Hi Thank you for everyone’s help. I have now removed 777 permissions and I asked my system administrator to grant me rights to use chmod. And it appears wp-backup is still working.

    And actually, I maanged to get a blank .htaccess that works — the problem previously was my blank .htaccess had some Windows non-breaking character or something so then it wasn’t quite blank. Using a *proper* text editor (well, Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition) solved it.

    Still, it would have been nice if there was some config file that allowed me to solve this problem.

    Thank you!

    HandySolo – thank you for your reply.

    I tried a blank .htaccess, but it seems like the mere presence of a .htaccess file causes problem. (The file’s permissions are 666 – I can’t seem to change this; will ask my site administrator to change it to test…)

    Unfortunately I have had to as my site administrator set the web root directory with 777 permissions in order to get wordpress backup to work — that unfortunately has the side effect of allowing WP to create .htaccess files!

    Is there anything I can configure within wordpress to stop it from creating .htaccess files?
