This is more a question than a comment. Is it OK to leave .htaccess permission set to 666 or should it be changed to 644 which denies write permissions to anyone except the user. Or does Wordpress need it to be 666. This is dangerous, is it not? I just added a 301 directive through Cpanel with permission set to 644. If this were for Wordpress permalinks, does it need to be 666? Hi Mike!
