File zilla is an FTP program. FTP stands for "file transfer protocol". This is what you need to transfer files to your website. Most web hosts have their own, but it never hurts to have an extra. I use it and love it

https://filezilla-project.org/

Last but not least is one of the best places to just browse and find free stuff

Kompozer is a free code editor.
