FTP???
What the hell... I mean, I paid my money, registered the domain, and now all I have to do is learn FTP. I know there are programs that help with FTP uploads and such, and I'd like to know if anybody could reccomend what they are, and maybe give me a small briefing on it?

FTP really isn't as hard as everyone makes it out to be. Since you seem relatively new to it, I suggest downloading FTP Explorer (freeware). It's a great client for novices, since it looks and feels just like Windows Explorer. Once you get more comfortable with FTP, you should go ownload LeechFTP, the undisputed king of free FTP clients.
Some basic FTP terms:
FTP Server (remote host): The computer you're trying to connect to
Client (local): Your computer
FTP client: Software that connects you to the remote host (like FTP Explorer and LeechFTP)
FTP in a Nutshell:
There are three minimum pieces of information required to log in to a remote host. The IP address of the remote host, a username, and a password. The port is set by the remote host's administrator, and most of them usually keep it at port 21 (standard FTP port).
For anonymous logins, only an IP address is required, as there's usually a checkbox in your FTP client sofware for "anonymous". Most administrators don't set up their remote servers to accept anonymous logins, though, because it tends to suck their bandwidth dry.
If you need anymore information, just type "FTP help" into Google and go to town. Most webhosts also have their own online FTP tutorials for those new to it as well.
