Templates on Zencart that's not uploaded on to server

I did not download zen cart, and I did not upload them from my local computer.
Instead, I installed it directly onto my server as it was offered as an option in hosting website (fatcow.com). This automatically create a MySQL database and everything.

Now, I wonder if this type of installation will eliminate my options in customize the store. For example, how could I upload a template when I have no zen-cart folder on my local computer.

I can see the zen-cart folder in website's filemanager and have full control of domain and anything needed.

No need to worry, it is a completely different entity - you do not need your copy installed locally at all.

Simply upload your desired template using the instructions provided with the template. You can use the FTP in your host's control panel or download and configure an FTP client.

Many folks on here prefer to have an FTP on their PC to upload the files for reliability reasons. Personally myself, I use my host's and have never had an issue.
