Overview:

This interface displays the location of 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 and create the content that you wish to supply for your new users.
2. Place the appropriate files and subdirectories in the appropriate directory:
   • /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html — A skeleton directory for the root user.
   • /home/reseller/cpanel3-skel/public_html — A skeleton directory for a reseller, where home represents the name of the home partition, and reseller represents the reseller’s username.
     Note:

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

3. Place the appropriate FTP-related files in the appropriate directory:
   • /root/cpanel3-skel/public_ftp — A skeleton FTP directory for the root user.
   • /home/reseller/cpanel3-skel/public_ftp — A skeleton FTP directory for a reseller, where home represents the name of the home partition, and reseller represents the reseller’s username.
     Note:

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