for some reason, i can't delete files from my www folder
is there any way to delete files from the www folder without completely deleting the folder
because, when i try to update my website, it wouldn't let me override my index.php file
when i deleted the www folder, made a new one, and reuploaded the php file, the page did not update
HELP!!!!
Actualy, main folder is public_html not www folder. WWW folder is only copy of public_html and if you want to replace your files then do it in public_html folder.

WWW folder is NOT a copy of public_html, but is a symlink to public_html. | Quote: |

I am sure you are right but my english is not very well (I must looking in dictionary for word symlink) and I am not going too deep how Linux servers or Apache working.
SonamSymlink = Symbolic Link, used as part of the Linux operating system. For Windows users, it is the equivalent of a shortcut, except you can specify paths through symbolic links.
e.g.
/home/username/public_html/...
Then you have a symbolic link to this at:
/var/www/~username/...
Say you had a file like this:
/home/username/public_html/images/funnystuff.jpg
You can access it via:
/var/www/~username/images/funnystuff.jpg
hey symlink is an imp. concept and generally that folder including the one on freehost accounts is a symlink... any ways hope ya got ur ans... delete from public_html....
