I'm guessing thats a combination of mysql and the path to the location of your website on the server.

if you are going to upload by FTP, I recommend installing Filezilla, it's free and it's great, and you won't have those kind of headaches. I'm guessing you're using Dreamweaver.

all you need is:

Username
Password
Host/Server
