ExpressionEngine recommends that you place the EE system folder above the public web "root" folder so that not files can ever be accessed via a direct HTTP request. When I log into my account via FTP, I see the following directory structure:
db
etc
js
mail
public_ftp
public_html
tmp
www
I understand that the public_html folder is the root folder accessible via a web browser. For the EE install, would I put the system folder in the same level listed above? Thanks!
