The cgi-bin is the directory where all of your CGI scripts are stored. Scripts are stored in this directory so that the Web server will know to execute these scripts instead of just displaying them in a browser. This directory has executable permissions, while all of your other directories should remain non-executable. The path of your cgi-bin is that of public_html/cgi-bin/. Any CGI files that you place in this directory with the correct permissions will be executed by the webserver.
