    hello,

    for your theme upgrade is not really needed.
    as regard of your server directory, ehat do you see in your ftp window?

    ok. You have to connect to your installation directory and then, to locate /wp-content/themes/ folder, and upload your new theme here.

    if your blog address is something like http://www.myblog.com, then your installation is at root level; you’ll find wp-content/themes directory here.
    You can also upload by cpanel (it’s a bit slower) if you have more familiarity, but anyway you have to locate your installation directory.
    It could be something like /htdocs or /www or /public_html
