<div align=justify>Quite often people mix up ''public_html'' and ''public_ftp'' folders and upload their site files to the wrong folder. This does not allow people to view their site on-line.
In this article we'll try to explain the difference between the two.

The '''''public_html''''' folder is the root folder for your primary domain name. This means that public_html is the folder where you need to put all your site files you want to appear when someone types your domain name in a browser.

The '''''public_ftp''''' folder is used for storing files which are available with anonymous FTP access. Anonymous FTP access allows anyone to access your public_ftp folder. There are two options available:

* Anonymous access to ''ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com'' allows users to view, download, and delete files from your ''public_ftp'' folder.

* Anonymous access to ''ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/incoming'' allows users to view, upload, download, and delete files from your ''public_ftp/incoming'' folder. 

To sum it all up, 'public_html' is the folder for your site files and 'public_ftp' folder is used for anonymous FTP access.</div>
