Help! Unable to join eBay Partner Network!
Last Update: July 04, 2012
I thought I had this FTP stuff figured out but the requirements to validate domain ownership for the eBay Partner Network have proven otherwise. I am unable to add the txt file required to my base directory using the FTP client and I do not know what to do.

What do you mean are you having the same problem?

can you provide more info? Why cant you add the file? Can the FTP connect your your site? Is it giving an error message?

What folder are you trying to put the file in?
TC83 Premium
I am trying to put it in the base folder because requires it be put there. If I am correct it is the folder that appears as "/", right?
Apina Premium
Not always no. Look for a folder called httpdoc (*not* httpSdoc) and put it in that folder instead.

Thank you Apina. I will do that and see if eBay verifies my domain.

No problem, let me know what happens

Will do :)

Unfortunately it did not work and confirmation of my domain ownership is invalid. :(
