Hello,

If you are not on a shared hosting package, you may not know the paths of certain binaries, apps, etc, such as Ffmpeg, PHP, FlvTool2, etc. In this article, I will tell you a way of knowing your binaries paths. You must have SSH access to your Linux (not Windows) server. You do not need root access.

Difficulty level: Medium (Easy if you have basic Linux terminal knowledge).

NOTE: In this tutorial, I will not cover how to establish a SSH connection (that is coming soon!)
