Help for Windows Client people

Greetings,

First off, I'd like to say thanks for creating such a wonderful piece of software - after a few configuration bumps it's been wonderfully smooth sailing. I thought I'd add this one for anyone who's having the same troubles as I did:

The README details how to set Gallery into config mode if you only have FTP access, as I did. However, if you look at the gallery directory on your web server using CuteFTP et al, you won't be able to see .htaccess to change permissions, so you can't complete that part.

The way round this I found was that Windows (to my shock) has a built in ftp client:

Start -> Run
type "cmd"
type "ftp" at the prompt
type "open http://www.whereveryouare.com"

you can then use standard commands to move around, like this:

type "cd gallery"

If you try and use chmod at this point it won't work. The correct syntax for windows is:

quote site chmod ### filename

So the 3 commands would now need to be:

quote site chmod 777 .htaccess
quote site chmod 777 config.php
quote site chmod 755 setup

Then, to log out:

type "close"
type "bye"

You can do the reverse commands to unset config mode.

Hope that helps someone out there!

Wow, these old articles are still valid even now.
