What is the FULL HOST path of my FTP Root directory?

[thejoker37]

Hi all,
I am a newbie here and to NTL webspace and I am sorry if this question has been asked before but I have done a search of the forum and still have not found a satisfactory answer to my question.

"What is the FULL HOST path of my FTP Root directory?"

Somebody sugested that I try /home/vhost/User.name/ but that does not work. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Can you explain what you are trying to do as I'm sure someone here will be able to tell you what you need to know and if you can actually do it with the NTL webspace

What is it you're using it for? If it's any kind of server side content, it won't work, if not, have you tried leaving the trailing / off?

wow....that was quicker and a better response than trying to get throught to No Technology Ltd. on the phone.

What I an trying to do is to correct my .htaccess and .htpasswd to allow for private directory on my webpage... however I have just discovered from previous post it appears that NTL do not allow this......WHY? Are people( NTL customers) not allowed to have a page where only your family and friends or club members can access??? this is very strange. What is the point of giving you the FREE web space. So it looks like it is back to the drawing board, people should start a campagin to get some basic privicy for their webpage.

But thanks again for all your replys. I did not realise that I would get a response so quickly.

looks a very GOOD deal.

np. - you will need to register a domain name as well, of course. You can sort it out yourself & point I-Webs DNS to it, or they sort it out for you - for a reasonable fee.

I have been with them for a while now and am well happy. The options in the control panel are comprehensive and the 'Fantastico' auto script installer is, well fantastico The service provided, for the price, is excellent, in my experience.

look into

www.ukhost4u.com as well they are good

I can't believe that no one understands the question! Standards are slipping

He meant (for example) /usr/local/apache/htdocs/ntlvictims/thejoker37/ and not the URL that's mapped to that path. .htaccess is normally disabled for speed reasons rather than security, since security only requires that certain directives be disallowed. Always assuming, of course, that NTL admins know what they're doing

Can't go wrong with them at all.
