•
/backup - Nightly backups (read-only)
• /dev - The device nodes for FreeBSD
• /home - The default user directory
• /root - Root's home directory
• /tmp - Temporary storage of files the are in use or recently
used
• /www - Symbolic link to /usr/local/apache
• /bin - Contains system commands
• /etc - Server configuration files
• /ports - Collection of third party applications (read-only)
• /sbin - System utilities
• /usr - System files and directories that can be shared with
other users
• /compat - Linux compatibility files
• /ftp - FTP directory
• /proc - Active system processes, listed by number (read-only)
• /skel - Default "skeleton" files (core system binaries)
for a pristine server (read-only)
• /var - File system for log files and other data that changes

The /etc directory
contains the master.passwd, aliases, and /mail directory. These are
important files that store vital data whenever you:
• Add multiple
POP accounts

• Configure e-mail autoreplies
• Block spam for your e-mail users
• Control private and public FTP access to your server
