The UNIX File System

The tilde character (~) is an alias for the Virtual Server home directory,
accessible only by the Virtual Server administrator. Under the home directory
are major directories identified by the following names:
| ~/bin |
Contains Virtual Server program files |
| ~/dev |
Contains the null device node |
| ~/ftp |
Contains FTP programs and data files |
| ~/usr |
Contains several important subdirectories, including user account home directories |
| ~/var |
Contains user account e-mail and log files |
| ~/www |
A link to the ~/usr/local/etc/httpd directory, which contains all web server configuration, log, and data files |
Under each of these major directories are many subdirectories. Those you should know about when getting started are listed
