Anthony,
There are several methods of uploading files to a hosting server. It really depends on who's hosting it and what they allow.
For Example:
Host via ISP: Typically all you need is an FTP application to make the connection and upload the files (FileZilla works nice for me), the URL of the hosting location, (websites.ISP.com/MyAccoun tName) and the account information to access the site (Username, Password). I know Charter Communications has a setup method on their website, One of our local companies provides the customer with the account information, etc... it just depends on who's hosting as to the specific method used.
Hosting via Web Publishing Specific Companies: I know the Blue Voda company requires you use their servers and will provide you with an account (for a fee of course). All you would need to do is use their account information and select the appropriate server from within their publishing application to upload the site.
If this hasn't helped your situation, please provide more information (The Hosting Company Name would be helpful) and one of the experts here, or myself will be able to provide further assistance.

I am using winhost.com to host the website. This website will be used by about 70 persons scattered around the world. One of their goal is to share documents by they themselves uploading say ms-word or pdf documents to the site such that members in the group can download are use them
