Do you mean uploading them onto your server and then using them as a source in an image tag? If this is the case then you can use a FTP client or an application that your host may for you. If this is not what you want, please elaborate...

Hello, turtlehurricane. Generally speaking, all the material that you will use to build your website must be uploaded using FTP. FTP is just a protocol to transfer files from your computer to the server where it is hosted your website. To display an image, you may use an ordinary HTTP link
<img src="http://mysite.com/images/pretty.gif">
In instead of displaying the image, you want that the user to download it, then you must use some kind of FTP link, but that is another story.
