Here are a few resources that you may find useful.

FTP Client Software
One of the most used items in your toolbox is a good FTP client.  An FTP client is a piece of software that allows you to publish your web pages from your personal computer to your hosting provider.  There are many choices available.  Some cost money and some are free.  All FTP clients have the same basic features, but each has a few bells and whistles that the other doesn't.  I own different FTP clients including WS_FTP, CuteFTP and Filezilla.  Each has features that I like.  WS_FTP is probably the one I use the most often and is a commercial product.  However, I would recommend you try one of the free or open source FTP clients, especially when first starting out.  Filezilla is a very professionally done open source FTP client and will give you all the basic features you need and then some.  Here is the link.
