In case you don't know, UNIX and Linux treats partitions sort of like folders. They each have a mount point which pretty much acts like a folder. mounts points such as /var, /usr/, or a custom mount point such as /files.
And then you got folders, if you have a folder called stuff in your /var. You would just open up /var/stuff.

the part of a hard disk that is dedicated to a particular operating system or application and accessed as a single unit www.cogsci.princeton.edu/cgi-bin/webwn
And I said they treat them "like" folders when talking about mounting. Just like Windows assigns drive letters, UNIX/Linux assigns mount points that act "like" folders.
I was just explaining that /home and /var are partitions, not folders.
Some distors already come with FTP Daemons that are set to use the user's directory. For a example say you added me to your system. The home path for me would be /HOME/TCPMETA so the FTP deamon would give me access to that and also to the whole drive that has the chmod set to 777. Should do a check frist on another PC and FTP in using your main user access, not your ROOT access. If you don;t have a FTP Daemon setup like what I have told above then just check out on www.google.com/linux for a help guide on setting up a FTP.
As for a HTTPD if the distro you picked already came with it chances are its in /var/www/html and /var/www/cgi-bin.

"like" is very powerful, LOL
