I get down to where it says browse location: Root Folder.
I enter public_html and get error message:

"141:550 Can't change directory to public_html: No such file or directory"

What am I doing wrong in this field? What do I put in this field?

Thanks in advance!

Your domain details may have been set up so that you are in the public_html folder already. Try to add just a /.

I still get that same message????

I browsed and highlighted only the root folder dorectory. The directory looks like this:

/root (under root is cgi bin only)
I tried: /
I tried: public_html
I tried: /public_html

What's the scoop, please? Thanks again for your input!

it's:

/public_html/

need the forward slash on both ends :)

Also some servers use a different setup so be sure your setup is using the public_html setup and not some other one.

Patricia who's your host?:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

First, I want to thank all of you for your assistance! Eric, my host is "Web Hosting Hub. I just spoke to them, and they told me to just leave it blank (it's optional anyway).

The server info doesn't show when I create a new project???? Who knows where my website files will go when I upload them!

If I shouldn't leave it blank - let me know.
