PLacing file in forum root directory

[Merlin333]

One of my SEO providers requested that an empty file be placed in my root directory as confirmation of forum ownership.

I have attempted to do this with no success. I use SmsrtFTP it makes many attempts only to fail with a connection closed by server message.

I tried to upload a custom icon file for the forum in the same manner with the same result.

How can I upload a file or files (like a new template) to the server?

Thank you

You can't upload any files on the server.

Is there any other method? For example sending the file to you for placement. In the instance of the SEO company the file is a simple, empty text file used strictly for the conformation of my forum.

Please advise,

Thanks
