I own BL1 and want to purchase BL2. I assume there is a discount for the update. I can't figure how how to get it.

You should have gotten an email when Backlight 2 was released.

OK got the down load. Another problem. I'm using File Zilla and just updated to the latest version. Now I can't get to my remote access to see my folders on my site. I'm thinking my Malwarebytes and/or Windows Defender are the problems by not allowing me to get through. I can't figure out how to make an exception in either program so as to allow the connection to take place. i can't get to File Zilla to help me deal with the problem. Is there any way you can help?

Have you tried temporarily disabling those two programs?
You should be able to Google how to add exceptions

yes I did. But it had no effect. I think therefore I can assume that that's not the problem, correct?

I don’t know. I assume you have the correct ftp settings, username, and password entered in Filezilla.
Are you getting error messages? Have you consulted Filezilla support?

I'm using the same credentials as I used before the update. They worked before the update. I assume they should work after the update too. I ran File Zilla's network configuration wizard and got a message that I have a wrong external IP address. I went to their forum and did some reading about it but I didn't understand. None the less, I tried entering my own IP address which made no sense to me. Of course, that didn't work.
I then set up an account with File Zilla with a user name and password which I assume would allow me to communicate with them. When I went to sign in, I got an error message that the credentials were wrong. I tried getting a new password and was not allowed to do so. I also tried to communicate with them using g mail. They do not allow g mail to be used. I used a previously and unreliable e mail (Charter) and was able to get an auto-response e mail back. I'm now am waiting for a reply from them. Not sure if the lack of response is due to the unreliable e mail or my response to the auto-response or if they haven't got to it yet.
Interestingly, I can still publish from LR. But I get a message that the album is protected. Never got that message and can't find a way to unprotect it.
I've recently upgraded my modem and wondering if that somehow is the problem. Not sure as to how to work with that.
I'm going to take another shot at understanding the "wrong External IP address" part.

Your hosting company might have some documents on setting up FTP
Are you getting an error message?
A few years ago an update turned on TLS and I couldn’t connect. Changing that setting to Plain FTP fixed it.

That did it. Two days of trying to figure it out and all it was was an encryption problem. Thanks. Hopefully I can take it from here.

Not sure how to get Backlight 2. I went to the e mails, got to the BL2 page but couldn't find a place to download it. I did download the version from the July 31st e mail but that doesn't look like 2.0.4. what am I missing?

If should be a file named Backlight-2-installer.zip
What was the name of the file you downloaded?

I downloaded the version from July 31st and it's just Backlight. I now realize that's not BL-2. So I have the wrong one as I suspected.
I'm not sure how any discount is handled for BL-2 as an owner of BL-1. Is there just a $15 discount? It isn't clear. If there is no additional discount for BL-2 then I think I should just use the links from the November 27th e mail to make my purchase. Correct?
I'm interested in just Backlight 2 which I think includes publisher. I use Fotomoto to sell my photos. Don't think I need of the add on's. Correct?

Discounts were outlined in the upgrade email mentioned in that blog post. You should have gotten that email in September.
If you didn’t get that email, or no longer have it, you should contact Matt directly about any upgrade discounts. Or just use the one recently announced.
If you only need to make regular albums (no cart, no slideshows, no client response) then you don’t need ant add-ons
