This will give you a directory named 'drupal-x.x.x', where the x is the downloaded version of Drupal. If you followed all steps correctly, you should have the drupal directory inside your www directory on the server.

			The next step will be to move all the contents from the 'drupal-x.x.x' folder to the www directory. The easiest way to do this using Cyberduck is by going into your drupal folder, and drag-and-dropping all files and directories in your www folder.
