What is the Remote Site Folder? My upload software ( Webstudio) requires it and I have obviously entered the wrong thing because I don't know what it is.

The remote site folder name should be "/public_html" without the quotes.

Complete path to your document root folder is /home/cpanel-username/public_html

Actually, I read their support documents on the Web Studio website (click here) where it says:

Your Remote Site Folder
Your hosting company gives you this. This is sometimes required by your hosting, and sometimes it is not...it depends on the host. Try leaving it blank and upload. If it doesn't work, try entering it and precede it with a forward slash "/". Your host will send you the remote site folder's name in the email you get that gives you your ftp address, user id and password. You may not know they sent it, however. They may call it by a different name, like "destination folder", or "folder". If you don't see something that looks like that, look for these: htdocs, httpdocs, public_html, www, public, html, http. Any one of these could be a Remote Site Folder. If your uploading doesn't work, and you see one of these in your email enter it with a leading forward slash. They would look like this once you entered it: /htdocs , /httpdocs, /public_html , /www , /public , /html or /http. And of course, you don't enter them all, just the one for your host, and you don't enter the commas.

Since this host uses a public_html folder, the path is "/public_html" without the quotes.
