FTP Folders Problem, Please Help.

Hi All

On a clients website ftp i saw there are 2 folders "www" and "Public.html" both with the same files. Now the client wants me to keep 1 out of them and delete the other one. I experimented and deleted both the folders individually but in both cases the website goes Down. Can anyone help me making out from which folder the site is actually running and how can i make it run from a single folder.

Thanks

I am still waiting for a Guru to help me with this problem.

 

public_html is the original folder for your site
www is an alias folder for public_html

both must be available because it's created by default by cpanel

 

I am not sure why you need to delete one of the folders. Making the changes in default setting may break the functionality of the software. I would not recommend you to delete any folder. For your information, www is like a shortcut of public_html folder.

1 more question. If one of the folders is an Alias of the other, which one should i FTP files to when i need to make any changes. Will these changes take effect on the other folder Automatically or should i update both the folders.

Thanks

it will automatically updating www folder when you uploading your files into public_html

 

Tell ur client that both the folders are required..!

 

Deleting any folder will break the site, as www is a alias. There is no harm keeping the directories as it's required and built as per the cPanel skeleton.
