Previously i have used free webspace with uklinux.net (linux servers) and 2 days ago I just bought a hosting package with ghoulnet.com (cobalt servers).When uploading to my allocated webspace i find the following directories:
certs/
logs/
users/
web/
I have uploaded index.html into web/ directory and it works fine.
I am confused as to what these directories are for.especially the users/ directory because when trying to upload a realplayer media file using Realprodecer wizard the file is automatically uploaded to the users/ dir and not the specified web/dir.the following message is displayed when logging in using cute ftp:
220 ProFTPD 1.2.2rc1 Server (ProFTPD) [213.38.74.182]
331 Password required for emailfil.
230-

Can someone please explain what i should do to upload my site correctly.www.emailfilms.com.
Also are their any decent faq sites for a newbie like myself.

In the Site Manager in Cute, click on edit, and in the "Default Remote Directory" box, type in /web. Now, when you log in, you'll always be in your web directory. You can also specify the Default Local Directory that will load on the left side every time you connect to this site.

users directory is for users so let's say your username is person (but you are admin) and you ftp in. to upload to the main web folder you either open rootweb or cd up twice and open web

Thanks for the advise folks,very helpful.

Steve.
