    you will need to get yourself a good ftp program, something like ws-ftp pro or winscp
    both great to work with.

    Then you will need to export the sql database and structure and then copy and paste
    that into your newly created database you have on your site.

    once you've done that use the ftp program to connect and upload.

    most of the time files go into a public_html folder to be served off of a server.
    if it is a windows hosting solution then place them in the www folder.

    make sure to set the absolute paths correctly when uploading to the
    server. they no longer hold the variables of your localhost

    Uploading your database may be a trickier job. Try exporting the SQL queries from your local database & execute them to your online database.

    phpmyadmin can be a great tool for beginners

    if you can install it and have access to the /var/lib/mysql/ folder, try downloading the bin files

    For the files use a ftp client like filezila you can find it easily at www.filezilla-project.org/
    For cloning the databae use PHPMyAdmin. Usually PHPMyAdmin is given by your web hosting provider
