find /home/*/www -type d -perm /0777 -print0 | xargs -0 -I{} -r -P4 -n1 cp /.htaccess '{}'

You want to use print0 combined with xargs -0 so that it can handle IFS characters.

Use xargs -n1 so that it only tries to copy to one directory at a time.

I use xargs -I{} to be more explicit in what I'm doing.

xargs -P4 will parallelize it 4 times to increased speed.

Rather than bothering with xargs, you can just use the -exec option to find:

$ find . -type d -perm \0777 -exec cp /.htaccess {} \;
