    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
