title: How to upload a WordPress website from localhost to a actual website URL using FTP?
body: <p>I want to upload my wordpress website from localhost to my actual website. </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>What should I do so that the website can access the MySQL db on the
    remote server as it is on localhost? I do not have access to the
    remote server, its mysql userid and passwd.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Secondly,</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>I am also unable to send emails from localhost through my website,
    when a user registers and waits to receive an account activation link. How can
    I configure this on localhost and the remote server separately?</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>In the future, I would like to make changes locally and then upload to the real URL. How can I do this?</p>
  
  <p>My localhost uses:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>FileZilla</li>
  <li>PHP 5.3</li>
  <li>MySQL 5</li>
  <li>WordPress 3.4.1</li>
  <li>phpMyAdmin</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>on Windows</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
