 * I apologize for what seems to me to be a fundamental question about how to use
   this plugin. But I’m a bit nervous about updating my theme.
 * When I built my site, I installed One-Click Child Theme and activated it. I have
   made some CSS updates.
 * Now it’s time to update the theme. There is no automatic update feature for this
   theme, so I will have to remove the current theme files and upload the newer 
   release.
 * My question is how to do that. Should I use FTP, replacing everything inside 
   the theme’s folder? Is that all I have to do?
 * Or is there a “better” way?
 * Thank you.

 * This is not a theme but a plugin. The child theme your created with this plugin
   is independent, so updating the plugin will not affect the child theme.
