How do I verify my site by uploading an HTML file?

To verify your site by uploading an HTML file:

1. Sign into Google webmaster tools with your Google Account.
2. Click Verify next to the site you want.
3. In the Choose verification method list, select Upload an HTML file, and follow the steps on your screen.
4. Using any text editor, create the file that we ask for and make sure to save it with the exact name we ask for (for example, google11e5844324b7354e.html). The filename is case-sensitive and must have an ".html" extension. The file itself can be empty - we don't read the content of the file, but only check to see that it exists in the specified location. Upload the file to your webserver to the location we specify. Generally, this is the root folder for your site.
5. Once you have uploaded the file, click Verify button. We will verify that the file exists in the specified location. If we can't access the file, we'll give you information about the error we encountered. Once this problem is resolved, try to verify your site again.
