What is the URL of the file I uploaded?

  1. Login to FTP or File Manager and note the parent folder where your file is stored (normally public_html).
  2. Double click the folder icon to navigate inside public_html.
  3. If you see the file here, you are done. If you need to navigate inside more folders to find your file, note each folder. (Folder names are case-sensitive, so you must use the exact capitalization and spelling.)
  4. Once you locate your file, you should have noted the full path (a list of the folders you must go inside, respectively, to find that file).
  5. Now simply add the file name, exactly as it appears, to the end of the path. (File names are case-sensitive, so you must use the exact capitalization and spelling.)

    Here are some examples:
    public_html/My_Book.pdf
    public_html/images/banner25x120.JPG
    public_html/blog/includes/Movies/bigjump.avi

  6. Almost there! Now you just need to replace "public_html" with http and your primary domain name.

    Same examples:
    http://primarydomain.com/My_Book.pdf
    http://primarydomain.com/images/banner25x120.JPG
    http://primarydomain.com/blog/includes/Movies/bigjump.avi

  7. Try to browse these URL's and you will see the file you uploaded.
