Hi Akram,

There is a lot of information missing from your question.

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

Thanks!
Lev

  You might try looking in /var/www/ (Apache) or /usr/share/nginx/html (nginx) for your web files.

  The folders I typed above wouldn’t be located in the /root folder. In your viewer - top of the application - where it shows Remote site: /root, change the location to /var/www/ or /usr/share/nginx/html and see what is there.
