Filezilla is one of many an File Transfer Protocol (FTP) clients to choose from (CuteFTP, FireFTP etc). Does what it says on the tin. It allows you to transfer files - normally to a designated area on the publicly visible hard disk of an internet server.
There are FTP accessible sites with anonymous logins but you normally need a username and password. This is especially the case for the FTP accessible web space purchased / rented from some other company (eg. Bluehost, ) or included with your internet access (eg. AT&T, AOL etc). Anyway once it is transferred there, you can say that it is published!
Now for the important provisos and details.
To get your site published you need firstly an place to host it. As mentioned above you probably have some web space from your ISP. This is most certainly OK for a basic website made of webpages (.html) stylesheets (.css) and images (.jpg, .png).
HOWEVER an magazine / blog style website (eg. Joomla, Wordpress etc.) relies on a clever computers running smart programs to serve up the ever changing information. So you will need web space running Apache (server software), PHP (runs programs) and MySQL (runs databases).
There are some free services out there but I can guarantee that ‘free’ comes at a price - usually advertising or data-mining. Heres a list anyhow - search for ones with mysql:http://www.freebielist.com/webspace.htm
I cannot personally recommed one but as they are free you can try them out until you find what you like. (eg. http://www.free-space.net/)
But for not much cash (<10$/month) you can have your own site and often including the site name (domain eg. mysite.com).
Make very sure that it has what is needed before signing up:
for Joomla 1.0.XX http://help.joomla.org/content/view/34/2…
for Joomla 1.5 http://help.joomla.org/content/view/1938…
There may also be a service which will lets you automatically install Joomla from the webspace backend control panel (eg. fantasico in cpanel, application vault in plesk) - just ask before buying.
If you are going to do it yourself all the details and help are availible on the Joomla website or in previous answers from myself to other users questions. In simple terms:
1. download the files from http://www.joomla.org
2. unzip them onto your home computer
3. transfer the files you have just unzipped to your website using any FTP program
4. follow the steps described in the readme files included in the zip file you downloaded or availible on the Joomla website as tutorials:http://help.joomla.org
Good Luck
