Prefer to use WP Sync DB which copies the entire database and allows for push and pull on sites. You can also allows you to exclude plugins from syncing or it can ignore plugin active state as some plugins don't run locally but you might want them active on the web server. It's great for pulling database from a live site back to a staging environment.
Use WP Sync DB Media Files to copy media files over too.
The approach would be:
- Install WordPress on web
- FTP all local files (themes and plugins) over to live server
- Install WP Sync DB on both local and web WordPress installs
- Run a Pull from web version
- Might need to change table prefix in your web FTP for wp-config.php
