When your virtual server is created, it has the following directory structure (please do not delete any of these folders):
Windows 2000/2003 platform:
D:\FTP\Username\ - your FTP (& virtual) root directory, where you start when you FTP
D:\FTP\Username\Database - folder for databases (Anonymous user has Change access to this directory by default)
D:\FTP\Username\Ftproot - FTP root directory (all Site users have Read access to this directory)
D:\FTP\Username\Ftproot\public - FTP public folder for all Site users (all Site users have Change access to this directory)
D:\FTP\Username\Htdocs - web root directory, where you place web site content such as index.html and default.asp
Virtual (hidden) Directory: \Logs - web server access log file directory
Virtual (hidden) Directory: \FTPLogs - FTP log file directory (only available for accounts created after 10/11/2004)
When you FTP to your site you will get into your FTP (virtual) root. However, when you HTTP (browse) to your site you will enter your web root (\Htdocs). Anything above \Htdocs (or on the same level) is not visible from browser (this is a security measure).
Your web root (\Htdocs) is also an application root (approot) for your site.
Note:
http://www.your_domain.com/ is mapped to D:\FTP\UserName\Htdocs
Windows 2008 platform:
d:\home\Username\ - your account root directory
d:\home\Username\htdocs - web root directory, it is FTP Home Directory for your system user.
Home Directory for an additional AD (Active Directory) user(s) can be specified at the same level as \htdocs folder or under \htdocs folder.
Your web root (\htdocs) is also an application root (approot) for your site.
Note:
http://www.your_domain.com/ is mapped to d:\home\Username\htdocs
