    I’m a newbie. My page is http://www.decomposingsb.com/. I want to change header images, but I don’t know how to access directories such as /wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/header/. I want to delete the existing image files there and upload new files to that location.

    You need to learn how to use FTP if you want to delete and upload files.

    Thank you for responding.

    I followed the WordPress instructions (and tried the ones from Bluehost). I am working with Filezilla. I’ve set it up as instructed (and many other ways as well) and cannot get it to see the remote site. I connect, and my password is validated. Then I get:

    Response:230-User dlpetry@decomposingsb.com has group access to: decompo1
    Response:230 OK. Current restricted directory is /
    Status: Connected
    Status: Retrieving directory listing…
    Command: PWD
    Response: 257 “/” is your current location

    But / is empty and I can’t navigate from there to anywhere.
    My host is http://ftp.decomposingsb.com
    Servertype is FTP
    Logon type is Normal
    Username is dlpetry@decomposingsb.com
    Password is obviously working.

    I’ve tried passive, active and default Transfer modes.
    I also tried BlueHosts recommendation of entering /public_html as the Default remote directory.

    Thanks in advance.
