http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/documentation/

should be able to help you out?
I am a real lightweight on filezilla too
but if you said you can "log in" to your server

you should be able to see what you have uploaded in the right window and what is on your system on the left window
so if your website is up you should see all the files on the right side

i use location of "1" on my c drive for what i want to exchange with the server.
it is easy to find ( the first file on the c drive) and i just select a file and right click and select upload to sent it to the server or download on the server to send it to my c1 folder. down at the bottom is a progress bar so you can see the file transfer .

there is no magic with FTP so you can do a google and find all kinds of info on how to upload/download to your server site

I use filezilla cause it is free and i can figure it out(and i llike the name), but most of the things like working your website are spelled out in the other FTP programs and kinda work the same way
