FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is a meothd of transaction between your computer and a web server.  What you need to upload items to a server is called a FTP client. In a basic way, the FTP client is a program similar to your Windows Explorer.  You will be able to see file folders on your hard drive, drag them to the FTP client and upload them. You will need to know your IP address for your server.  When you subscribed to your hosting site, they should have given you an IP address. If not, contact them and ask for it.  This sounds a lot harder than it is.  You can find a few free FTP clients on the web. Use your search engines and type in FREE FTP Clients.  CuteFTP is a specific client you can check out. Type it into a search engine and read along. It's a down-loadable program from the net.  Some versions are free. At most, you would pay about $50 for it. Not bad at all.
