Filezilla is good but it is an idea to not over complex your thoughts ... if the instructions say upload a folder to your server just do that via drag and drop then run the installation script which could be www.myforum/install/index.php
if you can run that just follow the instructions
You can also use WS_FTP LE (Ipswitch)
