I am working on linux server through ssh and want to know where to put html and php files (the htdocs folder) but its seems to me the servers is running lighttpd
My directory structure looks something like this.
htdocs path in linux
That totally depends on your server configuration so your only reliable source of information should be lighttpd's configuration file which (if installed globally) should normally be within the /etc folder (e.g. /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf).
Popular locations for the htdocs folder are /var/www or somewhere within /srv.
I would say it kind of depends on the configuration of your server.
Still, maybe something like /var/www would do, if it exists : this is the default, with many Linux distributions, for the HTTP root folder.
If it's not there, you should try to find the configuration file for Lighttpd (something like lighttpd.conf, probably somewhere under /etc) ; in that file, there should be the path for the server.document-root.

Actually, I believe that Arch Linux uses /srv/http as default in the apache-config (not sure about lighttpd though). However, it's easy to change.
Other than that, just look in the lighttpd-configuration file and you'll find your answer :)
'/var/www' is where you should look. Most distros (actually, I don't know any that is not) put it there.
Just looked it up. Arch Linux sets the documentroot to /src/http for both apache and lighttpd fyi.
