You mean to edit your theme? If not what HTML are you referring too?

It's a very complicated question, by Boat or Car?
but, honestly, to access html, just type in your Browserfield:
and you have accessed the index.html Page of your Server. (if one exists)

Thanks ernie 
I tried it but it didn't work, maybe because I'm on a temporary URL at the moment before I switch my domain.
Sorry, I should have been clearer, I'd like to access and edit my html. Can I not do this from opencart? Thanks

No. You need to access the files via an ftp program. The html templates are in catalog/view/theme/yourtheme/templates/

Can I use filezilla? I have access through there but can't seem to find the HTML coding. I'd like to change specific buttons on my site to link to an outside url which I have full instructions for but I just can't seem to get to the coding to edit

@chiko930,
Do you mean you have to modify the store theme? In this case, you just need to modify any template files as follows:
1. Use ftp tool such as filezilla to connect your web server.
2. Go to catalog > view > theme > your_theme > template fold.
3. Find the xxx.tpl in separated folds such as common to modify the html content.
That's it.

Sorry, maybe I don't mean html, I'd like to alter the coding for a specific page. So imagine you have an image on a page but would like to change the source so that the image directs to an url. This was pretty easily done when I used wordpress but now on opencart, I can't seem to find it. Sorry for the confusion!
