Hi there how do i put a text file in my root?

 

This is what i need to do.

 

Option 1: Verify via File Upload

 

Ownership verification via file upload is simple and only requires two easy steps:

 

Step 1: Put a text file on your site

 

Download this text file and put it in the root directory of your site. For example, your site's URL is www dot cheaperthancheap dot co dot nz/, and the file is called flippa_103451.txt, so the file needs to be accessible at the address www dot cheaperthancheap dot co dot nz/flippa_103451.txt

 

Step 2: Tell Us to Verify the Uploaded File

 

Once you've uploaded the text file, click the button below and we'll download the file from your site and verify its contents. That's all you have to do!

It looks like you own a site and Google wants to verify that you actually do own it, by your ability to place a file in the root directory of the web site. How you do that depends on your access to your own site. The most common method is a control panel offered by your hosting company.

 

Download the file offered by Google (or whoever) and save it in a known location on your PC.

Go to your sites control panel and navigate to the root directory of your pages. Usually cPanel will open to the root.

Click upload, then browse your PC for the file you saved and allow it to be uploaded to your site.

Tell them to verify it.

 

If it fails then you have probably done something wrong or need to use another method...

Or...

 

Download the text file to your PC.

 

Then FTP it to: www dot cheaperthancheap dot co dot nz/
