To upload (or delete) files and folders to your web host, you will need an FTP application. One of many free options that are at your disposal is FileZilla. Though written using screenshots from a Windows XP machine, using FileZilla, the following instructions carry over to just about every FTP client with a GUI (Graphical User Interface).

NOTE: The name you choose will be where your WordPress weblog will appear, and although it can be changed later, it’s much better to avoid that by choosing what you want now.

Upload WordPress
Before you begin to upload WordPress, it is essential to have downloaded WordPress, and unzipped it, on your local computer. When you unzip the downloaded .zip file, a folder called wordpress will be created. Please note the location of this folder in your computer. You may also want to prepare the downloaded files for installation, by reading Installing WordPress and completing the relevant steps, such as editing wp-config-sample.php.
