Hi I am new to cloud servers. I can manage to create SSH file and connect to my root folder using my private key file. But I couldnt see where is my website files stored. What I see in FileZilla is under root : .aptitude; .cache; .composer ; .ssh

How can I access to my real files ? Can you please guide me ?

Regards
Akram

if you want to see all files in directory, try
ls -la
pwd
cd directory

Hi Akram,

There is a lot of information missing from your question.

  1. What guide(s) did you use to get started?
  2. What web server are you using (Apache, nginx, etc)
  3. What kind of website are you trying to set up?

Thanks!
Lev
