I installed the theme on my test site, which is why I know which file it is.
Just make a banner, save it as smlogo.png and upload it.

If you are asking such questions you probably installed SMF from a package in your website hosting control panel, as you won't have used ftp to upload SMF files you downloaded here? If so there are probably functions in the webhosting panel that will allow you to use a file manager to upload a file from your computer (i.e. your banner named as smflogo.png, so your banner image will need to have been created in a graphics software and saved in png format) to the website.
ftp = file transfer protocol. It allows you to use software on your own computer to transfer one of many files. One of the more popular ftp programs is filezilla. To use it your webhost will need to have given you (usually when you register your hosting) your ftp connection details. Alternatively with your access to the control panel you may be able to set up your own access.
Better webhosts will have help guides on their hosting solutions that shows you how you can use ftp or how you can upload and replace files.

Just a note, here, if you decide to use Filezilla.
To avoid problems, make sure that "Transfer type" is set to "binary", NOT "auto", which is the default setting.
