Question No Such file or directory

Smilie ok this shell thing is brand new to me. I managed to log into my website ,but that is as far as I have got.

Do I have to generate a key or something to access the files on my website?

I can't even get into public_html

I just get: No such file or directory.

hmmm...

Sorry to be so blunt, but you seem to lack even the basic knowledge necessary. It is impossible to teach someone completely in the usage of a Unix(oid) system over the net. It is simply too much work to compress the, say, 400 pages of a good beginners book into one or even a few articles. I suggest you get such a book (have a look in our FAQ, we have a list of book recomendations).

Having said this: i don't know what you mean by "public_html". If it is a directory you see over the net, like when you type

Code:
http://your.webserver.com/public_html

it is not clear where it is. Web servers (apache, for instance) use some "starting directory", which is declared in their configuration file and display paths over the net relative to this starting point. Have a look in this configuration file. Where it is located and what its name is depends on the web server you use and how it is installed. As you didn't tell us anything about your system we can't tell you where to look for in turn.

If you are sure it is named "public_html" then do a search for this directory by issuing the following command:

Code:
find / -type d -name "public_html" -ls 2>/dev/null

Be prepared to have to wait a bit because this searches the whole disk, which might take a while (1-2 minutes maybe).

To find out more about the find-command you might want to read this thread and consult the man page of "find" ("man find") afterwards.

I hope this helps.
