In what directory is localhost?

Hi, I'm trying to implement what I've learnt on the node.js course into my own project, which involves html files etc. If I'm using the http server as shown in the course only locally, where should I be saving my other project files?

:point_right: The top-level directory would be the one you start the server running in.

Thanks. My css, img and js files aren't working now that I'm trying to use localhost. I've always developed in a normal file directory and used relative linking to get things working in the past. Is there anywhere I can go to understand how to load content from existing files easily please?
