    All the files where wp-admin, wp-contents reside need to be uploaded. Only one change you will have to do:

    edit wp-confi.php file and change the database details. Keep the localhost as it is.

    Nope. Not as far as the WordPress app is concerned. It only cares that you have functioning and properly communicating sql, web-server and php apps, with correct database and user information in the wp-config.php file.

    Everything inside the download folder still gets uploaded to your web-accessible directory.

    Here are some quick notes that might be helpful.

    oops.. I am afraid I may have gravely misinterpreted your needs...

    On re-reading, I get the impression you want to move from your local install on your development server, to a live server. Sorry about that..

    See if these help at all.. see number 3 ) Moving to a live server.

    Sorry about that!
