Need HELP with EPN domain validation process

strikers041 · 01-22-2010, 06:01 PM

Hi Everyone,
I have applied for EPN account and they ask me to do the following at the end so they can validate my domain. I just do not know how to upload the file to the base directory of the domain (where is the base directory of the domain???) I use FileZilla to upload that file but I can not figure out where is the base directory to put this file. Can someone please help? Thanks in advance!

Create a plain text file in a text editor and in the contents put only your unique identifier (provided on the 'Domains' page or in the initial email we sent).
Save the file as 'epndomain.txt'.
Upload the file to the base directory of each of your domains that you would like to validate.
Example: If your website is eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices, your file would be located at eBay - Page Not Found.
Visit the Domain Confirmation Page when your domains are ready to be validated and click on the 'Confirm Domains' button.

It means the main folder where all your site files are, in the public_html section.

I found the public_html folder. When I double click on it, it displays two of my domains. Do I just drop that upload file into the domain folder that I want it to validate? Or Do I need to double click on that domain folder to open up some other folder like cgi-bin, wp-admin...? Thanks again!

Yes, that will do it.

When you connect with filezilla, click the public html folder...then drop the text file in that folder.
