Root Web Directory

I have McAfee SiteAdvisor on my pc and have a technical issue I would like help with.

When I click on "are you the owner of this site?" it gives me the option to create a "Request Verification File" which I have done.

It has my website url together with a code - example: 32323131534672.txt

Now it says: Create a file with this exact filename in the root Web directory on the Web server of the site you are claiming to own.

That is the question.

How do I do this?

What do I have to do so McAfee knows it is my site?

Thank you in advance.

Two.

Just make a text file and name it 32323131534672.txt then ftp it to the root of your website (the directory with your main page i.e. index.html)

Thanks for that.

I will keep at it until I get it right.

I am obviously doing something wrong.

I opened notepad, pasted the full code - eg: http://www.xyz.com.32323131534672.txt named the .txt file 32323131534672.txt and sent it to my server via FP.

McAfee then says "We are currently experiencing difficulties with our site verification process. Please try again later." Or I am doing it wrong?

Got it right eventually.

Thank you for the help which was appreciated.
