 Understanding the File System
Each domain name hosted by Web Wiz will have a 'home directory'. From this directory you can store your web sites pages, scripts, applications, databases, etc. You will also have access to your sites raw log files.
After logging into your home directory, using FTP, you will see the following folders: -
wwwroot
This folder is the root of your web site, you should place inside it the web pages, scripts and images that make up your web site. You should call your home page index.html or default.html and place it within this folder.
db
The web server and thus your scripts have full access to this folder, however the folder is not directly accessible by your web site visitors. This is therefore a good place to store any Microsoft Access databases or data files so they can not be downloaded by a hacker.
SubDomains
If you create sub domains for your site then the web pages for your sub domains will be stored in this folder.
SSL
If you enable SSL Shared Secure Space on your domain any SSL Secure Pages will be stored within this folder.
Backups
If you backup your website from your Control Panel this will be the location where your backed up files will be stored
Secure
This folder is used by IIS Password when you password protect a directory. This directory stores information on who is allowed to login into your password protected areas of your web site. This folder should NOT be deleted.
