If you want to access a file on a shared hosting server by specifying its absolute location it may not work. The reason is what we see on shared hosting as root folder actually may have more before it that is not visible to us for security reasons (as machine has shared hosting). The solution is to use Apache/Web server’s ‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’ variable before file path. Like in PHP use it as:
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']/home/myfolder/myfile.csv
