Yes they are important and should be uploaded.

You could try changing the file name to remove the period in front. Then add it back after uploading. Make sure your FTP program is set to show you hidden file (which is any file starting with a period) else you won't see it once you change it.

The learning is in the doing.

Some Hosts prevent the use of .htaccess - Yahoo is one of them
