Your question is a bit general and a bit specific at the same time. I FTP stuff daily using SmartFTP. Its good. I'm not sure how I can help you with creating folders and stuff, try right-clicking maybe...

Anyway I can clear some stuff up for you which may enable you to explain your problem better. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. There is no such thing a "a FTP" it is a method of transferring data, that is all. You can use an FTP Client (e.g. Core FTP or SmartFTP etc) to transfer files from one location (computer) to another using the FTP protocol.

Nearly all FTP clients will have the common feature of seeing two sets of folder/file trees. One locally on your machine and the remote set on the server you are connected to. You should be able to create folders etc on the server using the folder tree for that machine, and transfer the files using drag and drop usually.

Hope it helps you anyway.

yes, the one I have dpwnloaded is called core ftp lite, it came highly recomended to use with a online program called word press. word press has website themes (like skins) to change the appearance of your website.

I have read the instructions from that and a few other places. They assume that you know how tp make a directory in the ftp. and how to upload the file.

since I do not know how to do this. I can not change the appearance of my site.

well, I guess i will keep reading, maybe it will make some sense soon.
