An alternate, and simpler method for most users is to open any Finder window, then look for the Time Capsule icon under the Shared heading on the left side of the window.


When you click on the Time Capsule icon, a folder......named "Data", unless you have changed the name of the drive.....will appear to the right.


Double-click "Data" to mount the Time Capsule drive on the desktop, where you can now drag/drop or copy/paste data to the drive.


If the Time Capsule does not appear under the Shared heading when you open a Finder window......then you are likely using the Yosemite operating system on your Mac, and it will take some work to find it.


In that case, Niel's method might be the better way to go.
