Hi, I managed to get symfony to work on free hosting (freehostia.com - no advertising intended).
Basically, the root of the ftp was like this : /public_html And the executed code was in the public_html folder. This meant I could but all the content of the web folder in public_html, and the content of the other folders next to the public_html folder. All that was left to do was configure symfony to use the public_html folder instead of a web folder. For that you can check the doc : http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_2/03-Running-Symfony#chapter_03_sub_configuring_a_shared_host_server <http://www.symfony-project.org/book/1_2/03-Running-Symfony#chapter_03_sub_configuring_a_shared_host_server>Be advised though, that free hosts often have other limitations. For example, mine didn't allow me to make calls to external webservices...
