Common File Locations

Tips

• Don't modify files while the server is running unless you know what you're doing — some files are locked
• Back up before making changes — download the files you're about to modify
• Check file permissions — if uploads aren't working, the directory may be read-only
• Use binary mode for non-text files (most SFTP clients do this automatically)
