Try changing the filename in Cpanel to just htaccess without the period, and then chmod it, change the name back, and repeat to reverse... Long process, but it will work.

i know of two FTP clients that will allow you to see files with . prefixes. Both CuteFTP and WSFTP. On the right hand side there is a text box (under the mkdir button). You type -la and press enter and it will show all hidden and prefixed files.

As for the chmod. Both Clients have the ability to chmod files.

During the installation of Gallery, it needs you to set the permissions on the .htaccess file to 666 because during configuration, the setup files are writing to the .htaccess and config.php files. The setup files will actually freak out and not let you continue with configuration if those two files' permissions arn't set correctly. (right click on file, go down to operations, and then choose FTP commands. In wsftp, almost the same in CuteFTP).

The 777 permissions are meant for your albums directory. If it's not set correctly, you won't be able to upload files to the directory and neither will anybody else.

As for imagemagick, I have mine set as /usr/local/bin and it works.
Jhead can be downloaded from here Jhead download place. Just move it into your tools directory in your gallery directory. Chmod it to 755 and place the location into the config ( like this /home/(your username)/public_html/gallery/tools/jhead ).

Anything else?

To add to that about Imagemagick... depending on the setup of the server, you will find it:

/usr/local/bin/convert

or

/usr/X11R6/bin/convert

or

/usr/bin/X11/convert
