a question about file management in cPanel

[amahmood]

I use cPanel. When I look into its File Manager I can see folders for example www and pulic_html. What i don't understand is that the same files and folders are in both public_html and www.
Isn't there a tree system to organise files and folders there? I wonder if public_html is a subcategory of www or vise versa.

www is just a clone folder of the public_html...all changes will be mirrored in these folders.

More precicely it is a symbolic link. The www symlink can be deleted without consequence but do not delete public_html and its a good rule of thumb to reference paths in scripts through "public_html not www"
