I want to know,in which folder should I upload my files?
Where to upload?
your site files go in either the
"www" folder
OR
"html_public" folder
they are the exact same thing...
they go to the same spot...
"www" folder
OR
"html_public" folder
they are the exact same thing...
they go to the same spot...its
public_html
public_html
usualy, i upoaded my web files in "www" or "public_html", in fact, they are the same folder, you can creat new folders in public_html, also, you can delete or create new folders in the folder you see when you login in the ftp server. but i strongly suggest you maintain the files and just make new ones in "public_html". enjoy!
WWW is a shorcut to public_html...what I wish to know is what are the other folders and what they do???

the "tmp" folder is used to store info about your website's stats that you can access from cpanel.
the cgi-bin folder (forget whether fri host has cgi enabled or not) is needed for cgi scripts (you place them in that folder).
Going through my FTP, here are some of the directories:
* .neomail - Settings for the 'Neomail' Web mail script
* .trash - When you put a file into trash, it is stored here until you empty trash
* mail - Your email is stored here (I think it's the standard UNIX mbox format)
* public_ftp - Files for anonymous FTP are stored here (not sure if it's allowed at FriHost)
* public_html - Public HTML files
* tmp - Temporary files, eg. statistics
* www - symlink (shortcut) to public_html
And some of the files:
* .bash_history - History file for BASH Linux shell. Since we don't have shell access here, this file will be empty
* .contactemail - The contact email address
* .lastlogin - The last IP address you used to log in to the cPanel
* .spamkey - I don't know really. Does someone know?

Thanks a lot.I was confused between www and public http.
I suggest that you add this info to the faq.

yeah, maybe one of the admins could add this information into the FAQ (including my post on what the folders and files are for)
