Without knowing how you set up your web site to begin with it is difficult to answer this question. Please keep in mind that Linode Support does not have access to the internal configuration of your Linode. I will try to provide some tools that taken together may help you get what you need done.
The main thing to realize is that WordPress keeps your files in a database and is designed to manage the content for you using its administrative interface. To find the address of the administrative interface for your WordPress site, follow these steps:
From the Linode Manager or Cloud Manager click on [Linodes] -> Select the Linode that has your WordPress site -> Click on [Remote Access] or [Networking] (depending on which manager you are using) and make a note of your Linode's Public IP Address.
In your web broswer, enter https://[IP Address From Step 1]/admin
It's quite simple actually. You can access it through various FTP clients such as FileZilla, or you can even install a WordPress plugin such as File Manager.
