Help with Files_dir location

[Ant_Pelosi]

• Application Version - 3.2.1.3
• Description of issue: I am trying to locate the Files_dir outside of the Jornal location. I can not seem to get it to work. I have found a few posts about this issue Where to keep files_dir in CPanel so that it will be web inaccessible but can not work out the correct URL to enter into the config.inc file

I have tried /[name of file]

I need help to get the correct path to the location of the file

Thank you

Dear @Ant_Pelosi
To some extend, the path syntax of files folder depends on your server configuration and its location.
If you are using Cpanel, then server environment has to be GNU/Linux.
So, if it’s not a shared hosting and give you shell access (ssh), then you may log in via;
ssh username@domain.com
using a ssh client. Then run,
pwd
and get your current path.
Eaiser way, go to file manager in Cpanel, and look at the directory path in left top corner.(see image)
If not, you might need to ask support for your hosting provider.
You need to write it as;
files_dir = /home/books/files (just as an example)
