Your files need to be uploaded to your www subdirectory, not your home directory. This means that after logging in via FTP, you need to issue the command cd www before uploading files. Your www directory is actually a symbolic link to an entirely different directory tree; most users have their Web directory under /www/username or /www2/username. This is a security feature; you can keep files off of the Web by storing them in your home directory. Some FTP programs do not understand symbolic links at all, and the www directory may not be visible or usable. To work around this, go directly to your Web directory with a command such as cd /www/username, where username is the same name you use to login via FTP or Telnet. This should work regardless of where your Web directory resides. |
