If it's a theme, and if you are defining scripts in .info file, keep the .js files in scripts folder of your theme folder (e.g sites/all/themes/mytheme/scripts). You don not have to define the whole path. Just enter the relative path to the .info file (scripts/myscript.js) and it will get included in the entire site.

if you are using drupal_add_js, in a custom module, the common practice is to keep the file in module's folder. Set it as drupal_get_path.

Although it's not recommended, if you are hardcoding the script in html.tpl.php or page.tpl.php folder, I'd place the js file in theme folder and use a drupal_get_path to get the actual path.

    You will need to upload it using FTP. In most fields, you cannot upload executable files. even strict, you can upload only few allowed file types.
