Good for you, SSH will provide you with a secure  method to transfer 
your files to the webserver. I suggest you open konqueror, and then type 
in the address bar "sftp://<webhostname>" replacing <webhostname> with 
your web server. It should prompt you  for login information. You  may 
still have to adjust permissions, but you will  be able to use konqueror 
to do  that.

No windows thinking now. Firefox does not install an icon of its own. 
You will need to run it manually. hitting 'alt+f2' should bring up a run 
dialog box. type '/opt/firefox/firefox' in the box, and see if it runs. 
If you know that you installed someplace other than /opt, then use that 
instead. You can create a launcher(icon) for firefox in KDE using your 
right click. You will have to choose create link to application or 
something similar.
