I am FTPing with Filezilla from a Godaddy server.<br />

I'm not sure what environment means. It's Ubuntu 14.04. I don't think the libraries are shared but they are no where to be found.

The issues think confusing is that your libraries should be on the left side of the FileZilla interface and should reflect the libraries/documents there, the right side is godaddy's &nbsp;FTP location. &nbsp;That is what confuses what it is you are trying to transfer and from/to where.

How do I FTP files to, let's say documents, and work from there?
