Skeleton Directory

Skeleton Directory

This interface displays the location of the /root/cpanel3-skel directory, the skeleton directory. The skeleton directory allows you to easily copy the same files in to every new account’s public_html and public_ftp directories when the system creates the account.

Create a skeleton directory

To set up your skeleton directory, perform the following steps:

  1. Plan the content that you wish for your new users to have.
  2. Place the appropriate files and subdirectories in the /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html directory.

    Note:

    The system will copy these files to the new accounts’ public_html directories when it creates accounts.

  3. Place the appropriate FTP-related files in the /root/cpanel3-skel/public_ftp directory.

    Note:

    The new user can access these files via an FTP client.
