this is my first drupal site and hence my first transfer from a localhost (WAMP) to live server (hostgator). I was hoing someone could give me some step by step directions on how to do this. not sure the best way to get the mysql db (phpmyadmin or mysqldump) and how to get this and all of my drupal files one hostgator. any suggestion, links, etc would be GREATLY appreciated.
also i am attempting to put it on to the live server with the secure site module...just so i can restric access for a week of testing.

What's the procedure for that? Just a straight FTP to my live server of my drupal files?
