Good article, but another alternative for many hosting packages, which can be quicker and simpler. If your hosting package has a file manager that allows uploads and can unzip an upload into the directory structure then it can be both quicker and easier to use that.
first compress all the files in your new lightroom website into a single file (there are many different ways of doing this), and upload this to a suitable directory using the file manager. (This will be much faster than uploading all the individual files, as ftp is much more efficient when handling one large file than a lot of small files.) Then use the uncompress tool to expand the files out to the place you want them.
I use this approach whenever I load an entire site, or a substantial section of a site, and use local FTP client software only when I want to just add or replace a small number of files.
