Should I copy the files in the upgrade patch into each original folder beofre upgrading? Got confused.

Use a command line (ssh).
Upload the .tgz file to the server.
use the command line and untar it...
Everything will go where it needs to go.
THEN follow the readme and chmod permissions.
If you do not have ssh access or a command line, you CAN do this via ftp, but it will take you much, much longer, and if you are not careful, as you recognized, you can overwrite files that you do not want to... DO NOT replace files!!!!
The files that have the same names are probably diff files -- organized by directories..
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you use ssh to do your upgrade. If you do not have access by command line, I would ask your host to find a way to give it to you. Your host can restrict ssh to a specific port and/or IP address. Ask.
