FTP
The log files contain information regarding all requests (traffic) from the domain.
The log files are stored in the domain's logfiles directory (within the home directory) and can be downloaded using FTP.
The log files are kept for 7 days and then deleted.
If you want statistics on which pages are being visited, when, and by whom you should consider using the MatrixStats package.
By default, Internet Explorer should allow you to upload files to your web space using FTP.
However, if you cannot connect to your web space, you may need to change Internet Explorer's Internet Options.
Step 1: Open Internet Explorer and click Internet Options in the Tools menu.
Step 2: Click the Advanced tab.
Step 3: Ensure Enable folder view for FTP sites is ticked.
Step 4: Scroll down to the Browsing section and ensure Use Passive FTP is ticked.
Step 5: Click the OK button.
When someone visits a folder on your website, the web server will display a default document - e.g. index.html.
If a folder has more than one default document, the web server will usually display whichever is highest on its
precedence list. The order in which the server chooses a default page is different depending on the server type you have.
Note: It's best practice to have just one file, in each directory, that has a default page name. This will ensure that page is displayed each time.

Various web content and other file-types must be placed in the correct directories of your web hosting space. This article describes in which directories to put the various file-types
Description
In your web hosting space are three directories that are automatically created for you. After connecting to your web space with an FTP program, you should see the directories listed.
HTDOCS: ALL web content MUST be published in htdocs or a sub-directory of this.
The web.config file for .NET applications will only work from the htdocs directory. .NET assembly files (compiled dlls) should be placed in the htdocs/bin directory, which you should create.
The htdocs/cgi-bin directory is for files that require execute permissions - i.e. Perl or Python scripts and compiled CGI (See Fig. B). Perl and Python scripts must be uploaded in ASCII; and compiled CGI must be uploaded in binary. HTML files and PHP scripts will not work from the htdocs/cgi-bin directory.
LOGFILES: The logfiles directory contains the raw log files for your domain. You should not upload any files to this directory.
PRIVATE: The private directory should be used for files that are not directly accessible by anyone accessing your site. You should use this directory to hold information that the site requires, but which is not displayed (e.g. files and databases containing the names of users and their passwords).
