When you connect to the root or “home” directory of your account via ftp, you will see the following system directories/folders which are landmarks suggesting a successful connection:
Parent Directory
bin/
cgi-local/
dev/
etc/
ftp/
public_html/
logs/
pub/
usr/
The only three directories you may need to use are “public_html”, “cgi-local”, and “ftp”;
“public_html” is the root directory for your web page(s), the “cgi-local” directory is reserved for custom scripts and the “ftp” directory is reserved for files that can be downloaded by an anonymous ftp user. You can transfer files to the “public_html/” and/or create subdirectories.
