Re: [cobalt-developers] path to main index.html

[Herb Rubin <herbr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Admin,

I just create a symbolic link in their home directory as root

ln -s ../../web html

Which creates a symbolic directory (symlink) called "html" in
their home directory that points to the main site web directory.

Just tell them to ftp into the html directory...
