About specifying a server path
The server path specifies the location on the web server for placing the web gallery folder you’re uploading.
When typing the server path, use slashes for designating the directory and sub-directories. For example:
/root_directory_name/www/
In this example, “root directory” is the name of the root level, the directory you must enter to access space on the web
server, and “www” is the name of the specific sub-folder where the web files will be uploaded. Check with your web
hosting provider to verify the path for accessing your public folder on the web server.
