Can you post a link to where “it” says … ?
From the above, all I can guess is that there’s software (a plugin?) that adds a forum to WordPress, and the installation instructions are telling you to upload the software to the wp-content directory in your WordPress installation. This is the standard way to extend WordPress, though the instructions usually say to upload to the wp-content/plugins subdirectory. Find more about plugins at

To do that, you’ll need an FTP program. If that’s where you’re stuck, look for an ftp tutorial, e.g. http://www.ftpplanet.com/ftpresources/basics.htm or the WordPress codex page at http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients

hi
forget last post its resolved .
thanx you for your help
Glad to hear it. I guess it might have helped (and may help others finding this thread) if I’d added a step –
1. Download the plugin (typically a zip file)
2. Unzip the file to get a directory of files related to the plugin
3. FTP that directory (and its contents) to your wp-content/plugins directory
4. Activate the plugin from the Plugins panel
