	If you use any type of FTP program, such as "Fetch", once you 
get to your directory ("...the server space reserved for me..."), the 
directory path will be shown a the top of the FTP program window. In 
Fetch, it's a popup. Alternately, you can open your Fetch Shortcuts 
(if you saved the location of your space as a Shortcut) and see the 
full path.
	If you use Telnet, you can use the command "pwd" (Print 
Working Directory) at the command line to get the full path to the 
directory that you are (would be) currently in.

	Not every Web server is setup such that the directory is 
under "public_html". Some use the word "web", and others may use the 
domain name "abc.com", instead.

	HTH   ; )
