Do you have a website with wordpress set up? If you do and you want to add a custom post type template, then you'll need to access the server via FTP. Using an FTP client such as FileZilla you can move the template file to the proper directory, which will be inside wp-content/themes/YourThemeName/

Hi, Timothy is correct about the location for placing the files.

Earlier in the project it goes over how to setup your FTP. Did you have a chance to follow along with this video: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website-with-wordpress/installing-wordpress/the-famous-5minute-wordpress-install
