Hello. Right now I have an Ubuntu MEAN 14.04 droplet, and I am trying to transfer an html file using SFTP via Filezilla.
I connect to my droplet on filezilla as a non-root user, and I am able to move into /var but var/www and var/www/html apparently do not exist.
How can I solve this so that I am able to transfer the HTML file to my website?
If /var/www/html doesn't exist, then it is likely the case that your web server installation is not configured to use that directory as the web root. Take a look at your web server configuration files to see which directory is designated as the web root. Then move your HTML files there. Alternatively, if you really want /var/www/html as the web root, you can change the configuration. Just be aware that it will require particular permissions to work properly and securely.
Also, I accessed my droplet through putty and switched to the root user and still was unable to find var/www
