The process is as follows:
1) Contact the administrator that setup your web server.
Ask him/her to provide you with:
a) username
b) password
c) protocol to upload files with and recommendation on software to use:
i) ftp
ii) scp (ex: winscp http://winscp.net/eng/download.php )
iii) ...
d) server location ( of course "cuthbertsmith.com" would work).
e) directory to upload your files to after you connect to your server.
2) Download the recommended software to communicate with your web server.
3) Use that software to connect to your webserver, entering in your
username/password
4) browse to the directory to upload your files to.
5) upload your files,
