404 means page not found. Are you sure your typing the correct file name in after your domain?

These are questions you should be asking your webhosting provider.

on most unix / linux servers you will have a public_html directory in your home directory. these files can be accessed by:
http://server.domain.com/~username.

main site files are usually located in another directory of which you may have to contact your isp to know what it is named.

try going to the / [root dir] and then navigate your way to something like: /var/www/public_html
