Hi guys,
So I followed this tutorial, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-14-04 on how to setup a site and I followed every single step. I then proceed to login to my account via FileZilla to upload some of my website files. When I login, it only shows folders like .cache and other files starting with dots.
When I go to my website, it comes up with the Apache2 default page.
So basically when I login, I cant find /var/www/html/index.html in order to replace it with my own version. Would this be because my domain DNS settings haven’t changed yet? I changed them about an hour ago.

Hi @avi24
Is there a special reason why you’re following the Ubuntu 14.04 tutorial instead of 16.04? https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-linux-apache-mysql-php-lamp-stack-on-ubuntu-16-04
Which user are you using to login with in FileZilla? I guess you used root when logging in to the PuTTY/terminal?
It sounds like you’re located in a user directory, because that’s usually where you find a lot of dot files and directories. You then have to browse to /var/www/html (if the user you’re using has rights to do that)
