How to publish ASP.NET MVC site with File Zilla using FTP

Question

I made an account to a Web Hosting site which only allows transfers & uploads using FTP. So, I tried hard to figure it out how to publish my Site with FTP. I tried Visual studio Publish but It didn't work. Now I want to upload it manually using File Zilla. Does anyone know which folders to upload from my Solution (Project). There are lots of so i am confused. If you can also explain about SQL Server setup. I would be highly grateful to you.
