Where to store your MS Access databases

When your website is initially set up on the server, a directory named "db" is created. This directory has special permissions pre-set that allows data to be written to a file in this directory. This directory is also protected from outside read access on the server level to prevent unauthorized download of your database.

Access databases should be placed in the "db" directory.

If you choose to have an access database in a directory other than "db", you can change the permissions for this directory from the Web Based FTP utility in the Control Panel. Under most scenarios, this directory should be set to "M" (Modify).
