    Go the /public_html/wp-content/themes/ and right click.

    You will see a create directory option.

    Alternatively, if you have a folder which contains the theme files, upload the entire folder to /public_html/wp-content/themes/.

    Yes.

    The "remote site" is the main directory of your site.

    You will find a "public_html" folder in it.

    You can name it anything.

    Using the actual name of the theme would be a good idea.

    Yes, of course.

    You have to upload all files.

    For example, if you have downloaded a theme "sunset", you will have a "sunset" folder like this

    /public_html/wp-content/themes/sunset

    and this folder will contain all the files.

    You upload the entire themes folder in http://www.domain.com/public_html/wp-content/themes.

    Just copy the entire folder - wordpress will take care of the rest and you'll be able to see the theme in your wp dashboard.

    Hope that makes it clear:)

    Edit: whoops, sachin beat me to it by a couple of minutes :p

    did you click on "presentation" ?

    then click on the screenshot or title of the theme to select it.
