You can create the htaccess file yourself. It's just a plain text file named .htaccess
Open a text editor, add those lines to it. Save it as htaccess.txt, and upload it to the root of the website (website root, not the server root) via FTP. Once it's uploaded to the server, change the name to .htaccess
done.
The problem with Dreamhost is... you may have to create your own php-ini file and php wrapper, and do some other malarky to get around their 7mb upload cap. I can't remember if it's that complicated, or if it's just a case of using the .htaccess file. Start with that... if you still can't upload large files, post here, and I'll walk you through the other stuff.
