I cannot find the public_html folder

    I want to upload the folders for a new website (the customer registered the domain in World4you), but when I connect with Filezilla there isn't any public_html, only a folder with two subfolders, 'error' and 'stats' [​IMG] ???

    I could use some help, thanks in advance.

    You may want to ask your webhost what folder the VirtualHost points to, so you can create it and upload your website.

    I did five days ago, but still no answer :confused: :mad: Not used to this sort of service, anyway it's a mess to manage a domain registered by someone else, not you. Never again!

    Five days and no reply to an inquiry by a web host, especially if in a tech support department? I would send them another inquiry as this seems to be a long delay.

    Have you tried uploading an index.html file to the root FTP folder, to see if it works?

    Yes,
    i would also try to upload a file in the root folder. Then you can check, if
    the File is available from your domain for example: yourdomain.com/testuploadfile.txt.
    Just give it a try mate!

    Sometimes you have to place files in the 'www' folder, see if that exists. If not, contact your host.

    "My" host is not mine, but the customer's one :mad:And they kindly ignore me.

    Anyway I'll look and try again, thank you.

    Try uploading using cpanel if you are unable to do it through filezilla
