Murray Farrell | | Can anyone help with an answer please?
In a hosting account there is a public_html directory and a www directory at the same level.
What's the function of the www directory? What files and subdirectories would we usually find in each?
All answers apprecated. Thanks in advance.
Murray

Scott Wolpow | | The www just stands for the web files. You may have other subdomains, like a forum or wiki.
You would have public_html>www
public_html>wiki
public_html>forum
etc

Murray Farrell | | Thanks for the reply Scott. What you said is what I expected to find myself.
I just had another look and logged in with cPanel file manager to Home Directory.
The current tree is
home/username/
- .cpan
- .cpanel
- .cpcpan
- .fantasticodata
- .htpasswds
- etc
- mail
- perl
- public_ftp
- public_html
- tmp
- www
I thought that all my web site structure should be installed in the public_html directory and its sub directories etc. And then came across this www directory. and got confused.

Scott Wolpow | | Not sure why the www is at that level, should be below public_html.
