In fact, if you upload the same files to the same location a second time, you have the option to write over the existing ones on the server. Therefore, you can update a file on your desktop, upload it via FileZilla, and have it update the server copy.
I definitely recommend reading up on using FileZilla on their wiki.

usually exists inside a MySQL database.
So if you are transferring or updating that particular part of the Wordpress site it will
probably have to be done through phpAdmin interface or whatever
browser-based CPanel your host provider uses.
