To upload, you need to right click on the left hand pane which represents your local copy of your site's files. Just to confuse the issue, I think that (but personally avoid) double-clicking on a file on either side will initiate the appropriate upload or download action. I avoid doing that because I feel like I am more in control of what is happening using the right click technique. Any time you upload or download, you really want to be thinking carefully about what you are about to do. In either case, assuming that some form of the target file already exists, you are going to overwrite it with the contents of the source file. Source and target change roles depending on whether you right click on the left or right hand pane. Both can be useful, but I find that I right click on and upload from the left hand pane very much more than I ever download.
