Guys, I have built a blog site using Ghost CMS and hosted it on DigitalOcean. When I try to connect it to AdSense, I copy the ads.txt code snippet to Notepad, save it within the downloaded theme folder, and try to upload it again. However, I get an error that says, ‘Request contains an unknown or unsupported file type.’ (I attached a image of the error too ) Please help me solve this.
Hey, welcome to Ghost!
Did you zip the theme folder before trying to upload it?
Is the ads.txt saved with a .txt extension?
If you unzip the theme again, is there anything unexpected in it?
Hello Cathy, Thank you! I saved it without the .txt extension. and there wasn’t any unexpected anything within the folder. Anyway now I tried it another way. I connected to the digital ocean droplet by using a FTP client and find the theme folder and upload the ads.txt file directly to that folder. Now when I see the abc.com/ads.txt , I can see the AdSense code. Could you please tell me is it correct to what need to be done for apply for AdSense.
I suspect you needed the .txt extension. 
Sounds like you’ve got it set up right now!
