So you should be able to use Filezilla to do just that for free.

You can use an FTP client and post files, but it will go against your bandwith count/storage space

so either way i HAVE to get a FTP program? the host doesnt have one installed?

FTP is a protocol you use to connect to your hosts FTP servers.

What you just said I like saying does google have a browser install on their servers for me to view their site?

In short, yes, you need an FTP client to get to FTP, like you need a web browser to get to HTTP...

Can you work out the code?

Ahh, if only I had more money I'd upgrade to the nice package for my web host where I can get some Shell Access.... I hate using SFTP.

Your host allows FTP access to its servers, but you need some way to access them from your computer. If you don't want to install anything (not that filezilla is free), you can use Filezilla Portable that lets you run Filezilla without installing anything to your computer and lets you run it if you are not a computer administrator. A lot of the time, web hosts will provide a "file manager" that lets you do everything an ftp program does, but online (in your web browser). If your hosting provider doesn't do that, you can mimic that functionality by using a service like net2ftp (which is, by the way, the core of what many hosting providers use for their "file manager"). net2ftp is just like filezilla except online.

The reason I like using filezilla for my comupter is because I can save certain login information for my different websites and filezilla integrates with explorer, meaning I can find a file on my computer (or even on my desktop) and drag it into filezilla to upload it to my website.

If you are planning on coding your site by hand, I would recommend using Notepad++ which comes with a plugin that lets you access ftp sites and open/save files directly on the site. (Well, how it does it isn't direct, but it seems so--its pretty much seamless). Ask if you need any help.
