When I log in by FTP, where do I upload the files for my web site?

Files for the main web site must go in the "/var/www/html/" directory. When you first log in via FTP, you will be in the your user's directory. You will notice a directory called "mainwebsite_html". This directory is an alias for /var/www/html/. You will also notice a directory called "mainwebsite_cgi". This is where you will put any cgi scripts that you need to execute. This directory is accessible on the web at http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin.
