Having trouble installing on localhost.

I need help trying to use zen cart with xampp!.

How and where do I install this unzipped file?:
'zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007'

Im trying to use filezilla at the moment, I quick connect to localhost and get this:

Response: 200 Type set to I
Command: PASV
Response: 227 Entering Passive Mode (127,0,0,1,254,184)
Command: MLSD
Response: 150 Connection accepted
Response: 226 Transfer OK
Status: Directory listing successful

Then I find the unzipped 'zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007' file and click upload however I get a ton of error messages like this???:

550 File not found
550 CWD failed directory not found

How can I resolver this problem?
What am I doing wrong?

Thankyou.

Why are you using an FTP program to connect to local host?

You can just drop the "unzipped" files in the "htdocs" directory.

Just search for this directory within the xamp folder.

open firefox or IE etc...

Navigate to http://localhost (there might be files in this directory and they are ok to delete)

Run though the installation procedure though your browser.

No,

You have to "unzip" the file first and it will give you a lot of files in a folder.

Drop the contents of the folder into the said "htdocs" directory in xampp

open internet explorer and type in the address bar:

http://localhost

Everythings now sorted!! Thanks alot for your help :bigups:
