Path to files

[estado3]

Can someone confirm the path to files, say I uploaded a file to my directory, not the www folder just the first directory the path says public_html

and the folder is home/MYUSERNAME

I assume the path to the file seeing it's not in the www folder is:

/home/MYUSERNAME/file.txt ??

Your files that are going to be viewable by people need to be in the public_html or www folder.

Your home directory path might be different than normal (A lot of people are in the /backup/home folder instead of /home, so put this in a php script and run it in a browser

<?php
echo __FILE__;
?>

That will give you an absolute path to your script, so if you put it in www, you migth see

/home/username/public_html/script.php

Just to clarify, the WWW and public_html folders are mirrors of each other, so if you upload a file to one, it can be found in the other as well.
