When scripting, what is the directory format for a file on webspace?
I am currently setting up a script that will be running a certain program via my web space; I'm wanting to double-check the format in which I would direct the script to go to. Would it be "/yourdomain.com/dir/file.file", or something else? Please help!
You have 2 choices.
The full path: http://www.xxx.com/xxx/yyy/zzz.html
This will work anywhere.
The relative path: zzz.html
This will work if the file is in directory yyy
For example if all your files are in http://www.geocities.com/username
then you can use the path
http://www.geocities.com/username/xxx.html
or
xxx.html
The difference is keeping or omitting the http://
Relative names are best since if you move the entire web site you do not have to make any changes to the addresses.
