Transfering a XAMPP made mediawiki's site to a web hosting

Hello everybody. In these days I was able to install Mediawiki using the XAMPP program, and, for what I can see, it is working fine. I found myself then asking how could I transfer my wiki on the net, being it a private Wiki. I followed the backup and restore guide on the XAMPP Mediawiki installing guide and I tried to transfer the data upon a free web hosting, byethost, given the fact that a friend of mine was able to open a dokuwiki easily on this webhosting. I Imported the database created on XAMPP in MySQL service of the web hosting page, then I tried to go to the online file manager and I tried to upload the htdocs folder of the wiki. I find myself with this screen http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q27/Axel_99/crist_zpse437bd6e.jpg I try to login using the user of the file hosting, but a dialogue box opens saying "Please Enter the FTP server" I'm stuck with this page and don't know how to go on. I was able to open the wiki on XAMPP, am I missing something? Or is there another way to transfer a Wiki from XAMPP to the net?

If your hosting gave you a ftp server to connect to transfer your files, you can use any FTP client to connect to it and transfer your files. Filezilla is a very good FTP client for this.

So what should I do? I need to install Filezilla on the web hosting or what? I'm not that good in these things..

You need to install FileZilla client on your PC and then take the credentials, which you got from your hosting provider, and put them into FileZilla in order to connect to the webspace.
