You don't upload your files into the www folder. You upload them into the public_html folder.

That shouldn't make any difference, make sure they are chmod'd correctly and put them inside a directory like so:

/www/filename/ that way when you go there you should see the files as you want.

Make sure that you don't have an index.htm file in the directory, and/or that directory indexing is enabled: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/enabling-apache-file-directory-indexing/ (see option 2)

You don't upload your files into the www folder. You upload them into the public_html folder.www is a symbolic link to public_html, so they're essentially the same directory.

What OS does your server have? Are you using any control panel?

Sammykool.. just to make sure.. do you have ANY idea what a dedicated server is and what you have to do to make it run well?

i am not getting the path of the uploaded files. Did you point the domain to the new server? What URL are you using when trying to view those files?

Sponsi has a point there. A dedicated server is not for everyone.
