Backing up my site to a home PC for editing.

I have zen cart installed on to the web just fine. But I'd like to back up zen cart to my own home PC and make changes.
Once changes have been made, then upload back to the web.
Can someone explain what exactly I need to do or point me in the right direction for info.

Thanks.

Use ftp to get the files. If you don't have a good ftp client, get coffee cup free ftp from coffeecup.com.

Use phpMyAdmin to get the database. Here's an explanation:
