Question regarding setting up a new website in htdocs folder

Today I moved my website to a new hosting company (Verio). I've done this lots of times before开发者_StackOverflow中文版, and I know that your website should go inside the "htdocs" folder.

Now usually when I use FileZilla, I can do a "Right Click" on a filename to get the URL of that file. This is the result of my root default file: ftp://test@test.com/www/htdocs/Research/index.php

However, on the web, the true URL of my default file is: www.test.com/Research/index.php

My index.php file is in the website root folder. Does anyone know why FileZilla would include the server folders "www/htdocs" as part of the URL? These folders should not normally be visible to the user.

OR, is this look correct?

That ftp url is correct. Your FTP account has access to the two folders (www/htdocs/) before the document root, as most hosting providers provide.

You are also correct to assume that http access is limited to the document root. (Meaning they cannot see www/htdocs/)
