Root directory -- verifying ownership -- did I put the file in the right place?

My site i开发者_开发百科s built in PHP.

I need to upload a file to the root directory, to verify ownership of the domain.

I put the file in the first window I see when I log in over ftp, but the file doesn't show up at the relevant url.

Where do I place a file so that it's in the root directory?

The root is the DocumentRoot of your site.

It is basically the public folder of your website.

The folder where your index.php is (or the first file that is called).
