Web accessible directory

  #1  
Feb 27th, 2008
Hello,
I just signed up with a free hosting provider. When I login through ftp I go to my root directory which is web accessible. So where do I hide the files that I don't want to be accessed through the web? Such as database connection files, user uploaded files, etc. Are all hosting services the same? Or do some of them give access to directories that are not web accessible? This first I am trying put an actual website up so I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
