I got a webhost like 2 days ago, and I now realize that I’m a total n00b :asian: there’s a lot of stuff I don’t get… So I thought I would ask you guys some basic questions about it 🙂 Here it goes:

What does “above root folder” mean?

How do I make a folders files showable in the browser (i.eg. you go to ["www.domain.com/folder](http://www.domain.com/folder)" and then you see all the files in that folder).

I have 5 folders named “\_vti\_bin”, “\_vti\_cnf”, “\_vti\_log”, “\_vti\_pvt” and “\_vti\_txt” in root. Most of them have nothing in them, what’s the purpose of those?

That’s all the questions for now, I will probably get some more for you soon 🙂
