How to access /var/www/www.mysite.com/htdocs from home folder

[ChrisRChamberlain]

Hi all

Currently connecting to a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS server from a Windows pc using WinInet.Dll.

The root folder on the server is the 'home' folder whereas the required folders/files are situated at /var/

http://www/www.mysite.com/htdocs/.

Can retrieve directory listings, upload, download etc from subfolders of the 'home' folder but unable to determine a path to the required folders/files.

The uploading, downloading etc will be done via a Windows app that automatically and periodically updates the websites on the server.

One alternative would be to place the websites, etc in subfolders of the home folder.

Alternatively, please advise suitable path(s)?

TIA

... Means what


You have provided the DocumentRoot location so to access the "required files/folder" you use

http://ip_of_server/

or a FQDN if it has one.

That is assuming you do have Apache set up, configured correctly, listening on port80 and running.
