FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol.You must have a FTP client installed. Eg:- FileZilla

If you don't know how to use FTP, you may upload your files via cpanel file manager.
Go to Cpanel>>Filemanager>> Upload your Files.
Please make sure you upload all your files to public_html folder.

Have question?? Please feel free to ask.

It is called a favicon. It is a 16 by 16 px .ico image. You can get in the corner by making a <link> or you can put it in the document root and it will be on every page unless you say otherwise. You can make your own in Photoshop or you can make a .jpg and convert it online for free.

This should fix the problem:

Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico">

Replace the href section with the url to the favicon file.

The link is not necessary, you just need to wait about a day for the favicon to be the default. You only need the link if you want a different favicon from the default.
