Ftp is the best way to publish your files. Use something like filezilla and read the help docs. You will upload the files to a folder (usually something like public_html) and then the files correspond to your domain. Example:

you upload a file:

/public_html/blog/index.htm

then go to your site:

http://www.yourdomain.com/blog/index.htm

Here is a good tutorial on FTP. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

You need to set up your domain provider's DNS server to point to the server where your files are located. For example, I have my domain (brasee.com) through GoDaddy.com, and I host my site locally. So I go to the GoDaddy website and update their DNS server to forward brasee.com requests to my server's IP address.
