Creating An Empty File?

  • I have been trying to add my site to a storefront but for verification purposes they want me to do this. I don’t know how to do it. Would anyone out there be so kind as to show me how/

    Thanks;

    John

    Your store has not been verified and will not show up in CouponSnapshot. Please create an empty file named 97bcec88a5b6531f.html and upload to the root of your site, make sure our server can visit it use the link below:

  • If you are on Windows, find notepad on Start / All Programs / Acessories

    When it opens, use File / Save As, select the desktop, and enter the filename as 97bcec88a5b6531f.html

    Then exit Notepad. You have just created an empty file.

    Now you have to get it onto your website’s server. If you have an FTP program FTP it to the root folder of your web account. That is the folder where, when someone types https://www.mydomain.com/myfile.html, the file myfile.html is located.

    if you don’t have an FTP program, use the File Manger program that is part of your website hosting control panel. Upload the file from your desktop into the root folder of your website (same folder I just described above).

    That is what CouponSnapshot is asking for.

    I must have uploaded to the wrong place. Hope i didnt mess something up. I went to File Mgr. uploaded the file and then went to the verification and it did not work.

    /home/lasvegas/public_ftp

    I uploaded it to this.

    no, that’s not correct
    it would probably be /home/lasvegas/public_html

    you can delete it from /public_ftp – no harm done
