[wolfmoon]

I want to create a completely blank (0k file size) HTML file for verification on a web. Just do not know how to do it. I tried to create a html file in a word using SAVE AS, but that html file is not with 0K size but 4K size which is not acceptable for verification. Does anyone know how to create a 0K HTML file?

Thanks in advance! And happy new year to everyone in this forum!

Does it HAVE to be 0k?

Just create a txt file with "." in it, upload it, edit it in your control panel, removing everything, and rename it to whatever.html.

Open the HTML file you created, using "notepad.exe", and delete everything in it, and save.

How to edit that txt file in the control panel based on your comments?

It's the hard way, first try what I recommended

Thanks, the 0K file can be made by this way! However, I failed during the verification. It needs to create a file with extension .html. The one I created from word is with .htm. Does it matter or how to make a file with .html?

Have you ever renamed a file in Windows?

Isn't a blank file 0b? Just open notepad, save as xxxx.html and upload?

You need to use notepad to create the file and save it as .html. Or, create it on your server first.

Yes. What I try to do is to create a file named as "thefind_4d7ce83bf51b0804890b4c001339d588.html" with 0K size.

It looks the file can only be saved as .txt file in notepad. How can I save a .txt file as .html file in notepad?

Thanks.

You can save a file with the extension you want...

File Name: [name].[ext]
Save As Type -> All Files.
