Seriously, you are looking in the wrong place ...

You sound like you got to the Control Panel, but then it sounds like you are using the File Manager ... this is incorrect ... File Manager is for looking at files on your domain ...

NOTE: You would NOT want to use File Manager to work on your files for Zen Cart as you can seriously damage files on your server ...

When you are on your main screen for your Control Panel, look for something called phpMyAdmin ...

phpMyAdmin is for looking at databases ... if you have trouble finding it, try a search with CTRL F for Find and search for:
phpMyAdmin in your browser as it might help you see it in your Control Panel ...

Does that help steer you in the right direction?
