What are all these directories I see in my account?
public_html
is where you place your web files. Anything you place in this folder will be viewable on the web.
wwwÂ
is the same as public_html. Yes, it's a bit confusing, but the www is what is known as a symlink, which is a link that leads to a real directory or file. In this case, the www symlink leads to the public_html directory.Â
tmpÂ
contains all your stat files for webalizer, analog, and awstats.
mail and etcÂ
contain mail and it's various configuration files.Â
public_ftpÂ
is used if anonymous ftp is enabled
_vti_bin, _vti_conf, _private, etc are all part of Front Page extensions. If you don't see these, don't worry, it just means FP extensions haven't been installed for this account. If you wish to install them, please open a ticket, and we will install them for you.
