The content of /public should be in your shared hosting providers /public_html or sometimes named /public. Normally this are the directory your FTP-client automatically enters. This are the folder generally refereed to as document root / root directory.
Every folder and files not being inside /public should be placed one directory up. Normally you can press .. (folder named ..) in your FTP-client and in that folder you should place everything else (app, system, tests, writable etc).
CodeIgniter 4 have just been released, therefor there are no tutorial for everything. And shared hosting all differ so we can't give explanations on all hosting providers. With CI4 vs CI3 we have taken security one step further, as in CI3 index.php where alongside your application and system, meaning you could drop all those files directly when connecting with your FTP-client. But that's not the case anymore, as it's not a good practice considering the security issues that can occur.
Yes, my hosting provider is using Cpanel. I understand the security concern here. But the thing is, its actually a bit complex for a beginner to start with
Codeigniter4 deployment to the live server where
Codeigniter3 was super easy. So, now do I have to put the "public" folder contents to the "public_html" folder and keep other files/folders outside the public_html folder. Is that correct?
