is the easiest way to upload my site via FTP?

use your browser.

it as an FTP program.
You need to enter the URL of your domain name in the browsers
address window
in the following form:

yourdomain is YOUR actual domain name.
You
will then be prompted to enter your username and password,
as originally
sent to you in your "welcome letter".

will then be logged into your root web directory, where you
can either drag
and drop your web pages, or cut and paste them into the browser
window.
Your default or home page, should be named index.html or index.html

How do I use the anonymous ftp site?
Your anonymous ftp site is completely different from your
web site.
When
people ftp to your domain anonymously, they will see the following
directories:
bin/
dev/ etc/ incoming/ lib/ pub/
"pub"
is where you should put all your anonymously accessible files.
"incoming" is for the anonymous users to upload files.
For security the following applies
Only the incoming directory can be written to anonymously
Subdirectories are not creatable
The incoming directory is not readable by people dropping
files there
You are responsible for any "pirated" software uploaded by
the anonymous users. The anonymous ftp sites will be periodically
monitored for any abuses.
You may ignore the other directories.
