When you connect with your FTP software, publishing application, or the web-based File Manager, you must upload your website content to a specific directory so that it is recognized by the web server. The directory to upload your website content to is: /var/www/html
Upon connecting when using an FTP client or the file manager, you will see a folder labeled “var“—open this folder. From inside of the “var” directory, go into the folder called “www”. From there, open the “html” directory, then upload your website contents.

For compatability purposes, it is also possible to upload website content into the /www/htdocs or /usr/local/apache/htdocs folders—these are simply links back to the true root directory, /var/www/html/.

If you are trying to upload content to a virtual host, you will need to upload the files into the directory that you specified as the “Custom root directory” when adding the virtual host. You can verify this directory from the VDS Manager by clicking Domains on the left, then clicking on the virtual host domain and looking at the details to the right.
