I've just apply a hosting. When I log on with admin FTP acc it list out these directories: [mail], [public_ftp], [public_html], [www]... and a index.html file outside.

I don't know which directory is my root when I access to?

If I access to http://www.mydomain.com which directory will it point to???

Should be in the folder that you startup in, if index.html is in there. I don't see why they would give you public_html, and www... as most webhosts only use 1 as the main folder.

hey,
the reason you have both the www and public_html is because they are pointing to the same directory. If you browse the www directory you will see the contents of the public_html directory and vice-versa... you can publish your files to either of the two..

I've just realize it. How can I make 'mirror' directory like that??? With CPanel? Or with FTP client?

you would need to create a symbolic link to the directory. For this you would need SSH or Telnet access.
