Where Can I Learn About The Various Purposes

[rnmcd]

For example, what are the ".htpasswds", "www" and the "etc" folders for?

 

thanks.

The www folder is a link to your public_html.

It's what makes the www.****** work.

 

Etc contains cpanel files and settings so cpanel knows how to do things.

 

.htpasswd is part of password protection.

• .htpasswds -contains passwords for password protected directories created via cPanel
  
• .spamassassin - contains configuration files for SpamAssassin
  
• .trash - you know
  
• etc - system files
  
• mail - contains all your mailboxes
  
• public_ftp - directory for anonymous FTP, *see Bruce's post below
  
• public_html - directory for your website's public files
  
• tmp - contains statistics files, which cPanel uses to generate reports (e.g. Awstats)
  
• www - a Symbolic link to public_html
