It is necessary to place a .txt file into a particular folder of my website (/.well-known/pki-validation/).
I need to make sure that the validation file is accessible via this link:www,my wesite.co.uk/.well-know/pki-validation number here.
could anyone please advise on how I do this please. Many thanks.
Looks like the file name you gave is to be placed in a hidden directory. /.well-known/pki-validation/
The / at the beginning usually means the root directory, probably where you publish too. The . next makes it a hidden file. You’re going to have to use an FTP client or perhaps a tool that your host has to place this file on the server.
Other than that without more info, it’s hard to say. Since the example, you gave ends with a / i don’t know if that should be a directory or the file.
The easiest way - as already suggested - is to use an FTP program to connect to the server. You may need to look in the options to show hidden files. Once they’re showing, navigate to root, then ./well-known/ then pki-validation/ Once in that folder, upload the verification file and that should be it.
