Understanding Physical Paths at Server Intellect

When you log in via FTP you will see 3 main directories.

db - This is where your databases will be stored. (Access, Text etc.) This directory is not web accessible.

logs - This is where your http visitor logs will be stored. This directory is not web accessible.

wwwroot - This is where your main web site files will be stored. This directory is your main web accessible directory.

secure - If you create a shared secure SSL directory it will appear in your FTP root. You will need to upload any files you wish to secure to your secure directory in your FTP root. When you create your new secure directory you also create a new Application Directory. All files in your secure directory will need to be completely independent of your master wwwroot directory. Your secure directory may need it's own bin directory and it's own Web.Config.

Physical Path - The three main physical paths are as follows:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\yourdomain.com\db

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\yourdomain.com\logs

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\yourdomain.com\wwwroot
