Default I'm lost ! Trying to set up Wordpress on Site5

Alright folks...

Hope someone can give me a hand, it's driving me crazy !

I bought a domain name and signed up with site5 (hosting). And since 2 pm I'm trying to install Wordpress...

Site5 does have a "one click" installation through Fantastic but I'm not sure it's working fine : it says

Connection Strings
Perl $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:correres_Blog:localhost","corr eres_Zhu","<PASSWORD HERE>");
PHP $dbh=mysql_connect ("localhost", "correres_Zhu", "<PASSWORD HERE>") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("correres_Blog");


I did see my blog running though.

But when I tried to upload themes via FTP (Filezilla), I couldn't see the public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes folder (nor I could see any folders actually...).

I basically lost. There're documentations everywhere but it's still too technical for me and I'm very confused with Site5 interface.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to :

1) Install Wordpress
2) Upload FTP files on Site5 with Filezilla

Thanks so much !
