    Noob question...

    ISPConfig is set up properly.

    When I browse to the IP or site name, Apache's index page displays from /var/www/html. I've even vi-ed a phpinfo file to /var/www/html and am able to see it from the browser.

    However...when I connect to the IP or site name with Filezilla, it connects to /home/administrator, and I can't get to it from the browser.

    How do I get Filezilla to connect to /var/www/html?

    Thanks in advance.

    How did you created the ftp user?
    USe this method to create the ftp-user, in ISPConfig webinterface
    Goto Sites-->Ftp-accounts-->Add ftp client

    Then add the entries with username and password, just there in second tab Options-->Directory default path will come, it can be customized as per your choice.

    Simply install filezilla and connect with defaultftpusername and password.
    It works very smoothly

    you use a wrong file location. Please do this:

    1) Add your IP address in ispconfig under System > Server IP.
    2) Create a website in ispconfig and select the server IP.
    3) Add a FTP user in ispconfig and upload your website data into the /web directory of the site with that ftp user.

    The folder /var/www/html and /home/administratorare not used on a ispconfig server. You just get there beacuse you did not do the above steps yet.
