Just to clarify, the remote "client" is the owner of the URL and has full
access for purposes of uploading the html, css, etc. files to the server, as
well as .htaccess files. At least one website states this can be done from the
command line, but I'm not certain that's correct. See
http://www.activewebhosting.com/faq/cgi-htaccess-change.html
Does the .htaccess file physically remain in the directory where it was
initially loaded? Or, does the server remove, transfer, or otherwise dispose
of the file?

Thank you. I gather I will need to ask the server hosting entity (who has root
access) to remove the file.
Any downsides to uploading an empty .htaccess file or a dummy file (just having
a comment and no directives)?

Not without 'write' permission, or settings within httpd.conf, no… ALSO the
following config disallows viewing:
#
# The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being
# viewed by Web clients.
#
<FilesMatch "^\.([Hh][Tt]|[Dd][Ss]_[Ss])">
Require all denied
</FilesMatch>
And that’s prob why you can’t see it but CAN see the backup…
