Scaffolding has been deprecated and will be removed in the future. There are better options from MySQL and IDE providers etc. that can help you automate some of the work anyway.

It sounds like your provider is locked down tight security wise. that's actually a good thing ;-).

Have you considered moving CI out of your DOCROOT where you have more flexibility over the file perms? This is what a lot of us do in our production environments. CI can run anywhere, simply change the index.php to point to the folder that contains your system directory. The only content that must be in your DOCROOT is your publicly accessible content (index.php, css, js, images, multimedia, etc.) Everything else - all of CI then, can be somewhere else where file restrictions can be under your control and not under the "web" user or "nobody" that has to be locked down so hard.

The other bonus is that the bots and crawlers aren't off slurping through your wares.

Just a thought.
