Can someone please tell me how to upload files when using xampp for testing environment on your pc?

I have Xampp installed on windows along with Filezilla that was in the Xampp download.

I am able to log onto the Filezilla server, but none of my files show up, I click this and that, and still nothing.

So my question is, what is wrong with this?

I would like to use ftp to change my file permissons and install some zen mods.
