The address bar

There is a thin-band, also grey in color. An Address-bar is displayed here. This displays automatically a path of the selected folder: e.g. the display will read as ... Address: /httpdocs . This serves to indicate the path of the folder that one has highlighted.


A two-section view of the website (just below the address bar)

  • The left hand section is the Folder tree. This displays a list of all the folders on your web server. The list is in a tree format.
  • The right hand section is the Content View which displays the files and folders inside the current Folder.


Folder Tree

Here you will see the various directories on your website. Few of the important directories are:

  • /httpdocs : This is the public folder. Any file/folder created under this folder becomes publicly accessible. For example if one creates a file called index.html in the folder /httpdocs, then this file can be accessed on the internet by anybody by using the url: http://www.your-domain-name.com/index.html. Another example is if one creates a folder ( called images ) inside httpdocs and then uploads a file called logo.gif. Then the address-bar will read /httpdocs/images/. This image file can be accessed on the internet as http://www.your-domain-name.com/images/logo.gif
  • /httpsdocs : This folder similar to httpdocs but it is used in case you have a secured website. i.e. https:// protocol. Secured sites are required in case of web commerce sites. You need a dedicated ip address for your website and a digital certificate to begin with. You can contact support@edeskonline.com for pricing details for setting up a secured site.
  • /private : This is the private folder. You shouhld save all your non-public files here. Files stored in this folder cannot be publicly accessed using your website url.
  • /statistics : this folder stores your web server logs.
