  Hello @patelchris97 You would not be able to access a user's files in the browser by going to hostname/filename You can access a user's public_html files by going into the user's cPanel>>Files>>File Manager. As the root user from list accounts, you have access to all the accounts on the server.

  ok thanks for your reply! but is there"s no public_html/document root for my whm hostname? as in i mean somewhere i can upload a file and browse it on internet with my hostname serving as "domain" e.g __ Hostname "repo.example.com/file_i_uploaded.php" and its should open in browser instead of showing "repo.example.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi" template error page

  Hello @patelchris97 The hostname would not be allowed to serve files in this manner as it is a security issue. If you wanted to do this in a domain you could but you wouldn't be able to reach it from the hostname.
