Path structure

Hi

a silly question but I use a nix/apache server to host a webs site and need to setuip .htaccess.

I've done this via my CP and alls well.

I need to add some users via ssh.

I'm trying two programs

putty which with the settings I have drops me straight into the "dos windoW" and an ls command etc takes me straight to the directory with the .htpassword file in but I seem unable to edit the file .

I then tried data freeway which promised a windows GUI but when it connects I see directories such as boot,bin,syus,root,sbin,proc,misc etc I see no HTdocs

can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?

thanks

Ian

Hi

but I seem unable to edit the file

Define "unable". What are you doing exactly ? What feedback you get ?

Beside that, the output of [tt]whoami[/tt], [tt]ls -l .htpassword[/tt], [tt]ls -ld[/tt] and maybe [tt]pwd[/tt] could help locating the issue.

Hi

thanks for the assist at the moment I'm "talking" to the hosting company who are looking into the fact that apparently I'm logging into an area I'm not supposed to have access to

cheers
