Rajkumar,
 
This depends on the URL you are using.
You may always specify a FULL path to your documents in the URL...
for example:
   If you had a document in your account called: test.html
The URL to this document is:
   http://www.muohio.edu/sys_users/dsc/rajkumtm/test.html
However, if you are using the shortcut ~ URL this won't work.
 
   To provide the shortcut I had to specify a specific directory that
the software looks into to find html documents, so if you put the
test.html document in a [.www] subdirectory, the URL would be:
   http://www.muohio.edu/~rajkumtm/test.html
 
So, the short answer is:  if you want to have a short URL put the documents
into the [.www] subdirectory in your account.  Or, if you want to maintain
the same directory structure, give full pathnames in your URL to your
documents.
 
Hope this helps...
