Where should I put my web content (files)?

Solution Once you have logged into your FTP server a list of websites associated with your username and password will be displayed. Choose the domain you wish to upload your website files into, open it and you will find three additional directories. One of the three directories will be labeled "web," the other two folders are for server side stats and logs reporting and should not be deleted or edited. Open the "web" directory and you should see two more directories labeled "cgi-bin" and "content." If you have CGI or Perl files they will need to be uploaded into the "cgi-bin" folder while your HTML, ASP, PHP, images and other web files should be uploaded into your "content" folder.

Here is a roadmap of the FTP server that will be very similar to your domain's layout:

/www.yourdomain.com <-----Your domain's root directory
-----/web
----------/cgi-bin <----- CGI and Perl files go inside this directory
---------------/yourscript.pl
---------------/yourscript.cgi
----------/content <----- Website files need to be uploaded into this directory
---------------/index.html
---------------/image.jpg
-----/stats <----- Do not delete or edit
-----/logs <----- Do not delete or edit
