FileZilla Tutorial - Connected to the remote server

On the right side of the FileZilla screen, you'll see "Remote site"; this is the listing of files and folders on the remote server you're connected to.  In this tutorial, we've already double-clicked on the "wwwroot" folder.  The "wwwroot" folder is where the web site files are located on the server, this folder name may differ from host to host.  Some web hosting companies call this folder "htdocs" and others refer to it as the name of the domain name "www.domain.com". As you can see from the screenshot below, there are no files or folders in the "wwwroot" folder, hence "Empty directory listing".  In the next step we'll upload our "index.htm" file from our computer to the remote server.
