Server folderstructure
The structure of folders on Linux based servers is like the following:
/home/brugernavn
- Your root folder which is the folder you will start in following the FTP or SSH login.
/home/brugernavn/www
- This is the web server root folder. This is were the index.html (or similar) must be (it can be a link that works like a ordinary folder).
/home/brugernavn/www/stats
- Statistics files that can be accessed from the web by using a link like ‘http://www.your-domain.com/stats’. Please notice that this folder is not protected with a password – this can be done with a .htaccess file if so desired.
/home/brugernavn/www/cgi-bin
- This folder is only available if you have scripting (PHP, Perl, etc.) enabled for your web hotel. All files in this folder is assumed to be scripts by the web server, and are treated as such – a HTML file will also be executed and will almost always result in an error message from the web server.
/home/brugernavn/www/_images
- One of the many folders created by FrontPage. All of these folders begin with underscore '_', and should NOT be touched - FrontPage is not very forgiving!
