Hi!

The vast majority of settings will work the same on both the local and the live host, especially what you define in the Server Protection pane. However, it is possible that some of the other settings may not work on the live host, due to a slightly different server configuration. For example, many hosts don't support the Follow Symlinks option or the Disable Directory Indexes. The only way to find out is, unfortunately, trial and error. To the best of my knowledge -and I did a lot of digging- there is no way to know what will be compatible with a certain host beforehand.
