Do you have an FTP program installed? I use Cyberduck on both my Mac and PC, and Bluehost in their control panel and FTP accounts, have a handy configure my FTP and a downloadable Cyberduck configuration file as well as for other FTP software. Otherwise just use the FTP server name it gives, user name and password then once you manage to use the correct credentials it's literally a case of copying the files across to the root of the domain you have set up.

Alternatively you could use the browser based File Manager in the Bluehost control panel (which is the standard cPanel) but you may find it a bit restrictive depending on what and how much you're uploading.

Just make sure everything is going in a folder called "www" or "public_html".
