    hey! once you login using Filezilla, just enter the below path and hit enter in the "Remote site: text box",

    /var/www/

    then you can see the <html> folder, navigate this folder where you can see your wordpress installation folders.

    Hello rbiii,
    Your suggestion works very fine for me.
    " use this 100% work /srv/users/serverpilot/apps/websitename/public "

    Thank you.

You Wordpress installation is most likely located in /var/www/ Are you receiving any type of error message when you access that folder?

    Do you know how long I've been searching for this answer? At least an hour for this specific issue: where the wp-content is on my FTP server. JFC. Thank you.
