For security and simplicity, your Web-visible files are stored in a separate directory tree from your home directory. There is a symbolic link to your Web directory from your home directory; it is called www. Some FTP clients may have trouble using or understanding this symbolic link; if this is the case, you can go directly to the /www/username directory; this is the top of your Web tree. The root of your Web site points to your www link. If you need subdirectories in your Web site, they should be created inside your Web tree directory, with the mkdir command (by Telnet or FTP). If you have a Basic Account or superior, there will be a cgi-bin directory inside your Web tree; you will access the cgi-bin directory using the name:
cgi-username. |
