The path is username/domain (just remove the ~ in your post). If you're uploading files or something via FTP, you should be able to just use your domain name.

There's more to it than that...

To find out your full path, make a page 'test.php' and place it in your domain's directory. In the file, place the following code and then visit /test.php in your browser. You should be able to find the full path this way.

<?php echo realpath('test.php'); ?>

Note: on Dreamhost, it should be something like...

/home/.something/username/domain

/home/.something/username/domain

the '.something' isn't needed, the server will find your stuff with /home/username/domain/
(I am hosted on Dreamhost). The '.something' is the name of the particular fileserver that the server is talking to at the moment and can change.
